Michael: Thanks for the info...I couldn't remember ECUtune..ya!..That's it! Well, then:
1) I hate cats! I've replaced too many..and they're expensive. The main one has clogged twice I think..after banging on the ground [drop springs]. How would I know it's a cat problem?
2) Can I get at the temp sensor easily..without having to remove the intake manifold? Can I get at it to remove if necessary also without removing intake M? So... I test ohms on a warm non-running engine with the connectors off?
3) Missfire??? You mean plugs? Could they need replacement after only about 15K miles? What else could I check that causes misfire? [Maybe it's burning oil??]
4) How would I know the injector(s) was (were) leaking?
Can I FIX something and then check just the idle HC emissions somewhere (smog station or regular mechanic?) before spending another 40 or 50 bucks to perform smog test (and risk referree)?
Thanks for your help! Jim
