Hello, we can start with some basic troubleshooting instead of the shotgun approach and spraying parts at the car til we are broke 1.what is the TPS set at? either read it with a DVOM or data cable and software, start there, should be .45v, .4-.5 is acceptable, car does not have to be running
2. has anyone messed with the throttle body butterfly adjustments? if they have you need to reset them, there is a write up on the net to show you how
3. make sure all coil packs are firing, check for dead cylinders, to do this while car is running remove coil pack connector and note change to engine idle, if no change coil is not firing, doesn't mean coil is bad just not firing, have to troubleshoot why it isn't firing
4. check to make sure all injectors are firing, use a stethoscope or long screwdriver and with car running touch top of injector and you should hear a rapid tick, tick, tick sound as the injector is actuated
5. ohm the injectors and report back, i think 10-14ohms is acceptable(?) someone correct me please
6. check for vacuum/boost leaks, all kinds of write ups on how to do this, inspect all vacuum hoses, balance tube o-ring locations, etc for vacuum leaks
7. on the MAF, with car running if you disconnect it does it run better or worse/die? let me know what you have with regards to your readings, i did go back and check your old posts but didn't see any responses as to where your TPS is set at among other things Rasta420
