Jerkin and buckin..

[SHOfun 93]

The sho sometimes bucks and jerks like it is trying to cut off during the few moments after startup. Other times it runs fine. I was wondering if any sensor could be pinpointed to try and see what is up with this..is this just one of the other symptomes of the EGR (DPFE) sensor being out of whack? Thanks. I know that I am getting fuel, cuz the fuel pump sounds fine, but it has symptoms like it is cutting the fuel almost. I dunno.

Man, you're killing that thing! Is it different from the efects of the bad CID sensor that you have already experienced? Check for codes. There may be a telltale number to clue you in.

Scotty, the thing still just gives me the code for EGR out of voltage range over and over (332). The thing runs fine after it gets going but it is really jumpy and moody with the a/f sometimes when it starts. UGH! shoot BTW the car only has about 2600 miles on it since you saw it last. I think I am going through that phase where some of the other non 60k sensors go...I dunno.

I have a similar problem. Try disconnecting your MAF sensor, and run around town. Your A/F ration gauge should stay in the rich area and problems should not arise. At least that helped for me. Now, its either the sensor or bad wiring. If that helps at all.

I had a similar problem when I got my car. An oil change fixed it.

Well I just replaced my TPS, but didn't "adjust" it correctly. Could that be some of my problem?

Try loosening the TPS's screws and rotating the sensor slightly CW or CCW. Snug the screws, start the engine, reset the idle and see what happens. If no change, rotate the sensor the other direction.
