Ok so we had to trailer the car home. But the car will not take any throttle, will rev up to 2500,3500 rpm the first time you start the car then just bog back down to 600 rpm and stay their. When you push on the gas it acts like its wants to suck in air but doesn't. it idles rough but a few times got it to rev up to 4500 rpm it smooths out and sounds mean.
So far we have replaced the spark plugs ( plug wells were full of oil, cleaned out) check wires were in right place ( look new) seems to have good spark from the coil pack. Previous owner replaced mass air flow,coolant temp sensor ,cut all the cats off res to, trying to find out what was wrong with car witch ended up being the computer. Car is also hard to start.
Have tried unplugging tps,mass air flow still no difference at all. also had that distributor thingy on left intake tested, tested fine.
Also after running for long time oil light will come on steadily at idle goes off soon as you give it gas. It makes a loud noise from left side of engine and also feel something tapping left side of intake manifold but not on the timing cover.It sounds like maybe two noises like maybe bad bearings on the water pump and the other sounds like its coming from top of the motor. Sorry for the long post but right now have the intake off to replace gaskets check valvetrain and check timing chain (make sure its align right ,previous owner said it has been replaced) Somebody please point me in the right direction what should i check next? Thanks
Also seems to have good fuel pressure.(previous owner says fuel pump has been replaced)
The interior is cleaner then brand new seriously. all the buttons for the air and radio look brand new,its like this car time traveled from 93 to 09.
