Re: Help!! I'm going to get hit by a semi truck!! Random stalling, stumbling idle
Not entirely, but the car is running (dare I say) well.... The real culprit in the stalling and rough running was the MAF. Also, I went back to the OEM spark plugs- I mean the ones that originally came with the car 16 years ago. Runs much more smoothly with those in. At one point in the process I shot the car with a 12 gauge filled with "part-shot" which included:
-6 new coils
-new CTS
-new TPS
-new breather gaskets, hoses
-new PS o-ring
-new vac lines - all
-new TB and by-pass gaskets
-new left side O2 sensor
At any rate the majority of the issues have been resolved by the great advice from you all and a large money-injection. I am thinking my residual issues popping from decel and re-opening throttle are from oddball ignition as a result from my exhaust. I have a stebro muffler and ditched the resonator. I am going to live with it, and its kind of entertaining anyway.
Thanks,
Mac
