ok well here goes....I am new here and new to this so go easy first of all I dog legged the vehicle home a rough fifteen minutes or so running really bad...the body 117k the engine 29k on a rebuild. so I felt like I got a really good deal if it was perfect I would have had to pay a couple thousand more...anyway....since I have gotten it home I have replaced the plugs and the wires....the oil...drivers side window regulator....the previous owner changed the iac.
I took the ecm out because the wiper fluid had corroded the box so bad it looked like snot inside. I cleaned it out really well with contact cleaner put the box back together...and now I can get the scanner to uplink when I could not before....whew! all this in a couple of weeks.
it runs better but it is still missing and it will die at a stop light. the idle is very low and erratic. The plugs I changed were black soot covered and I believe it was two and four had gas on the plugs.
I bought a couple of coil packs for a really good price today and I haven't had the time to put them on...but I really have a suspicion that the packs aren't the problem. the scanner doesn't spit out codes but here is what I did get out of it.
at an idle
FTRM 25.0
FTRM1 12.4
STFIRM2 25.0
TPS 12.4
RMM 1754
EMC ADV 43.5
IAT 18
MAF .130
I am not a mechanic and I am really new to this but I am trying really hard and I am addicted to this vehicle and I am not sure why I have only driven her a few times. Please any advice will be appreciated
