Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this forum so forgive me if I have posted something already covered. I could not find exactly the same scenarios as my troubles.
I was driving down the highway at 65mph, when instantly I lost power. From that point forward, it sputtered and ran horribly. I could hear what sounded like an exhaust leak.
Sure enough, the downpipe had rusted through in a spot. I fabricated a cuff for it to get me through the trip although it still ran bad, but better than without the cuff.
On my return, I took it to a muffler shop and got new down pipes and cats installed....still ran horrible.
It had code 51 and 02 codes. I changed the TPS and the 02 sensors. CEL disappeared, but TPS code still present.
I've chased everything since -
Plug wires, plugs, distributor cap, fuel filter, fuel sock, new intake hoses (old ones were horribly cracked), cleaned throttle body but did not remove it...
I checked the timing this weekend, Ohms on the TPS, Ohms on the AFM.
At first the AFM was off. I opened the top, found a metal tab to be loose, soldered it, and then got the correct ohms...
Still, it's running terrible. At 55mph, the thing sound like a helicopter inside.
I'm at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
