pic didn't load for me.

what's your throttle body look like?
vacuum lines? any vacuum leaks?
check your IAC and mass air flow.
check your TPS, there are directions in the tech library i think, to Ohm it out and see if it's good.

I would pull the codes and see what the computer is thinking is wrong. It may save you lots of time.

Doing the engine running codes are going to give you bigest clues on what might be going on.
It will at least give a good stating point

Ran codes engine running, getting code 177 HEGO indicates system always rich, this explains why it's choking out, so it's not getting enough air? Or it's getting to much?

Rich means: too much fuel or not enough air.


Hows your fuel pressure?

"Rent" one from one of the chain parts places. They all have all have a tool rental program. They usually dont charge a fee, you just leave a refundable deposit.
