I was able to get a video of rusty 2.0 in a mild fit of flooding/acting up. Very mild....
.
You hear it flooding/bogging as soon as i let off the throttle? This was also accompinied by dubious amounts of rich smoke. Then it hesistates when you hit the throttle and comes back strong. Truck was at temp when this video was taken.
Heres another funny thing, when i first fired it up the engine sounded like it doea right before it starts losing power and wanting to die. Its running smoothly but not quite as "robust" as it should.. It then ran out of gas.
Dumped gas in it continued this for a few minutes then smoothed back out.
My question is....why does it act lean, but also rich? I havent tried unplugging the O2 yet, thats the next step.
Is it possible for a low pressure pump to get hot and quit working? Or for an injector to respond slowly?
I dont know.
