Andy's never ending weird engine problems

[cogcaviz24]

swapping the TPS didn't make a differance. i'm gonna check the IAC and gonna try to break it down to the injectors to see what i can find. just as soon as i finsh this burger in front of me

i finally got around to tinkering with my car. i took the upper intake off. purged the fuel pressure, cleaned the injector connections, and generally just tinkered with the fuel system. i then put everything back together. cleared the ecm's memory, just in case. crunk it....sounded great! so i hollered at my roommate so he could ride with me on test run. i drove down the road and it ran very good!! no overhelming gas smell.but it bugs me that i'm not sure what fixed it. i want to play with the timing a little more(heard a backfire) and maybe run some sea foam thru it.



the real test is to see how the MPG is

Just remember the old adage... If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Sounds like it's fixed now.

Way to go.  While you were under there did you check out all the vacuum lines?

Andy, call me on Thursday.   six seven eight, four six seven, one seven four two.

Have you had a chance to drive the car any more since pulling the intake?  How's it running?

[cogcaviz24]

i've drove everyday since. not on long trips mind you, but she is doing good. i need to get it to my dad's shop to fix the exhaust leak(s).

[cogcaviz24]

just an update. i went to fill it up today, i'm getting 16 mpg. not too bad

[Fierofool]

Not bad, but we need to get you up to around 23-24.  Good to know the car's running goood for you, though.

[TopNotch]

OK for somewhat spirited stop-and-go driving. Otherwise, it should be better.
