Well I've been struggling to find the problem with my poor teener for the past couple of days (again). It all started a few days ago as I was leaving the girlfriends house. It idles completely fine (lil high when cold) and runs consistently but as I drive off she has no power to speak of and begins a series of small backfires with an occasional large one.
Well I diagnosed it this morning, timing is dead on, all plugs are gapped perfectly as well as the clean points, and all injectors are squirting fuel. Has anyone had an experience close to If not exactly like this??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) |

Well I was finally able to work on der kraut rod yesterday. I threw new points in it just for fun( gapped at .016). Replaced a burnt spark plug, cap and rotor I had laying around, and checked the valves which were perfect(thanks for the tip Ron!). I also checked every component of the FI which were operating in range.
Upon doin all that b.s. I took her out for a ride at night time and it felt EXACTLY the same! I did however notice my generator light it seemed to be half way on... Got her back in the garage and the nut had rattled off on the top alternator bolt!!! Do I feel dumb? Yup! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Just wanted to update u guys and say thank you for all your input! |
