The girl is gone and all I have now is a beat-up teener  Group: Members Posts: 301 Joined: 22-May 04 From: Gig Harbor and University Place, WA :: School in Angola, IN :: girlfriend in Sarasota, FL Member No.: 2,094 Region Association: None  |
Well those following my story, the teener was running really crappy and sluggish after a couple miles down the road. So I replaced the fuel filter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) and unkinked the lines.
So I took it out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) and drove around for quite a while, around the block and then around a bigger loop by my house, and it kept running. It didnt totally crap out like it was before (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) , so that's good. It is still surging a little at 50+% throttle, but its driveable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) I havent checked the plug wires or the coil wire yet, but are there any other causes of surging power? |

QUOTE(effutuo101 @ Jun 22 2007, 09:38 AM)  I had a bad aux air pump that caused my surges. take the TPS apart and clean it. doesn't the factory manual say 'don't remove the TPS'? Isn't it super sensitive the adjustment on how it is positioned- and therefor hard to re-install correctly without some fancy test equipement? I dunno cause I haven't done it- but I was reading up on it lately and it doesn't look easy. |
