alrighty, to start this off.
i started my day with a simple oil change and injector cleaning and now 3 days later and 500 bucks she barely runs. i started off spraying the seafoam injector cleaner on the tbi. and it started to run a lil funny then cut out. couldnt get it really running right after that. so i just assumed i got it in a nono area . so i rebuilt the tbi and changed plugs wires cap and rotor fuel filter map sensor idle air control valve coolant temp sensor (the right one) and the throttle position sensor eventually changed the computer which had a jet chip in it from the previous owner. i reinstalled that in the new one. when i rebuilt the tbi i learned the hard way how the injectors go in. so after fixing that and rebuilding it again i got rid of the flooding and leaky injectors. well the flooding not so much but they dont leak anymore.
so the reason i even went this direction was its been running a lil funny to where when it first started it had a lopey idle. until it warmed up and acted fine. and it seemed to run a lil rich . it still has the egr but no cats. the egr seemed clear but when its running and i pull the line from it i get no change.the motor also has shut off when its idling and the injectors go crazy with clicking and start spewing gas in to the throttle body after the motor has quit and they only stop when i shut the key off. thats why i said the flooding is semi fixed.
. so i videoed that and showed a mechanic shop and he said that to him that could be a computer problem. so i bought a new one to see. nope still doing the same thing. now i can get it to turn over and idle. when its cold it will be fine idling until it warms up then i get a dead miss and the idle get erratic to tries to cut off but it seems to compensate for it buy adding more fuel. if i drive it the miss becomes worse and has no power. im not sure if i could of washed the spark plugs from all the flooding or if the mis is coming from a faulty ignition control module. i havent changed that yet. nor have i changed the fuel pump. i figured it was flooding so i should have enough fuel pressure even though i havent put a guage on it yet. if i drive it i get a lil ways maybe a half mile or so and she will try to die on me but a lil throttle saves it. if it does die out when i go the crank it again it will just turn over like its not getting spark then it will flood and i disconnect the injectors and turn it over until it cranks and burns the fuel in the motor off. then i reconnect the injectors and try again. this goes on 2 or three times before i can get it started again which usually ends up having to be jumped off.
sorry guys this a run on cluster paragraph here. im beat down and frustrated as to where to go now. im over 500 down a day loss of work and 3 total days on this thing. if i still had a shot gun and slugs i prob wouldnt be typing this right now id be calling the junk yard. so the only things i can think left to change is the ignition control module the fuel pump and the o2 sensor. im just trying not to throw any more cash at it unless its a definite thing. this is one of my daily drivers. any help you guys may be able to throw my way would be much appreciated. ive been a googling turd the past three days thats why i replaced all the things i did because of other problems people have had and said it was a maybe.
