38SHO
#1 Oil Abuser
so I got code 189 and 191 previously, but they haven't showed up now.
pretty much anytime I drive my car for more then 10 minutes it starts to act up.
it bogs HORRIBLY, it will stall if you let it idle, if you try to give it gas in nuetral is reluctantly will rev and aronud 3k or so it will pop and make some noises from the exhaust I know aren't normal.
fuel pressure was at 8psi KOEO, 30psi KOER, I'm wondering if the KOEO reading was off somehow, as with the engine running it was producing pressure within spec.
changed fuel filter
cleaned MAF and Filter
vacuum line to FPR looks good, I don't HEAR any vacuum leaks, and it seems really odd that a vacuum leak would be intermittent. BUT one time, I drove my car for like 10 minutes down the interstate, it was running rough, and the air was blowing full blast out the defroster when I had the EATC set otherwise. now that sounds like a vacuum leak problem..... I was going to look at it when I got to her house, but I started it up, and it was perfect and running normal.... wierd shit
PLEASE HELP!!!
when its cold it runs like a champ, has power, no idling issues or bogging, no stalling.........
-------------edit---------------------- forgot to add---------------
I have a Snapon MT2500 scanner.
I got into the data section today when it was acting up. MAF voltage was in spec for idle, TPS looked good, ECT was @ 200 degrees, o2 sensors were changing erratically, I hear this is normal. I forgot what the value they read is, maybe its mV? I don't know TOO much when it comes to engine parameters. They were switching between numbers like 70, 380, 700....... then I noticed something odd..... it was just idling and I hear it start to sputter and start acting up like it does.. and BOTH o2 sensors are holding steady at a value of 7. Maybe that can help, maybe those readings are correct and attributed to whats going wrong with the fuel system. I find it odd both o2 sensors would go out at the same exact time.
