Previous to working on my car this weekend it would have an occasional misfire/intake backfire off the line, after putting in my quaifed trans and some other general suspension maintenance the misfire got worse (but not till almost 24hrs later) and is now there most of the time but not always. So below 3-4k it stutters misfires and has no power until the secondaries open and then its like nothing is wrong. And sometimes it will intake backfire off the line.
I put a new IAT in it, swapped out the DIS, MAF, cam sensor, 02's, IAC, coil pack, vacuum tested and seams to have good vacuum (16-20 inch pounds), TPS tested .7v closed to 4.53v open, and no codes. It idles high and takes longer to come down in the RPM than it should. I also checked the plug wires and they appear to be fine. No oil or water in the plug wells and newer plugs and wires. What is going wrong????:thankyou:
Edit: Believed to be a sticking/misfiring injector as it has mostly cleaned up but will still stick/misfire sometimes, waiting on injector seals for my spare set of injectors to swap them in...
