So today I got the new trigger contact's installed and put the distro carefully back in, so I hopefully did not adjust the timing to far. Go to hit the key and it turns over just like a champ, hit the gas, it's a little hesatent, but run's alright, I know the plugs are black so I go to pull and clean them, thinking the car will run great with a clean set of plugs. Well I just put them back in and hit the key. The car ran crappier than ever, still spitting fluid out the exaust, still hesatating under power, like it's running super rich, which is my main problem with this piece of crap. So basicaly i'm pissed. So far I have not had a chance to drive the thing much over a mile yet since buying it in June of 03, and have replaced the following:
Entire clutch assembly Points Cap Rotor Plugs Plug Wires FI Wireing harness MPS CHT FI Trigger Contact's Set and rest the fuel pressure I'm at a total loss for what could be wrong. So here are my symptoms. The care bog's down under power, and is totally undrivable except for in and out of the garage. The plugs are Black when you pull them and there is fluid coming out the tail pipe. The only thing's I can think of are injectors, or that this engine has been screwed with so that a 1.7 injection system just plain won't work with it. I know it has been re-built in the past, but I have no idea weather it was top/bottom end or the spec's. Sorry for the long post, but I just plain don't know what to do. Help! Thanks, Eric |

I have been there.
Check for a vacuum leak at the hose connecting the MPS and were it connects to the plenum. Also, make sure its plugged in correctly. Could be a bad vacuum line there. If the MPS is not connected right,it will run like a pig, very very rich, it will run, but just like you said, sluggish and lots of fuel. I ended up putting clamps on both ends of the large vacuum line connected to the MPS to fix it. Rich |
