Help guys! So heres the low down. My 96 (i think) Mazda b2300 is running weird. It will rev to high rpms when the pedal isnt all the way to the ground but when pushed to the floor it stumbles and backfires amd stays at low rpms. This is what it does.
. when you mat the pedal to the floor it just backfires continously and wont go above a certain rpm.
. when driving down the road and it reaches either a certain rpm or speed (idk because it doesnt have a tach) it bogs down and losses all power just like when you floor it.
The truck has a stored code for p1443 which says: evaporative emission system control valve low/no flow. So i tried correcting that by fallowing all the vaccum hoses in the entire engine bay and all the vacuum hoses that run to the charcoal box and they all looked fine. I then replaced the solenoid or purge valve or whatever you want to call it with a new one from the parts store. But that did not solve my problem. As soon as i bought the truck a few weeks ago it was having this problem. When i first got it i tried doing a full tune up and replacing the pcv valve and those both didnt work. Then i thought maybe the cat is clogged so i cut it out and that still didn't solve my problem. So to summarize what i did already ive:
. checked for vacuum leaks.
. cut out the cat.
. checked the timing.
. replaced plugs and wires.
. replaced pcv valve
. replaced evap purge solenoid.
If any has any info im missing or think they have a possible solution please let me know. The pickup is so bad i dont even drive it! Ps since just now replacing the solenoid ive only driven it 4 miles and its still running extremely bad. Also the check engine light never came on for any of these codes i juat had it read because it was running terrible. Maybe my check engine light bulb is out? Is there a way to test that?
