Hi guys, new to the forum and trying to find some experienced help.
I have a 98' 2.5L 4 -Cylinder, manual.
It was doing great, no signs of any issues.
I went to start it in the morning, and it suddenly went into an idle frenzy, very erratic shaking and barely able to stay running. When I push on the accelerator and hold it down, it revs up but then dies out on me over and over. If I try to drive it it has no power.
If I am able to keep it running long enough to warm up after a few minutes, the idle will even out (assuming the 02 sensor kicks in) and it will idle fine. But when I go to accelerate, the same problem exists.
I have replaced the following:
Iac Valve (was throwing a code a month ago)
Throttle position sensor,
Spark plugs (old)
Spark plug wires (old)
PCV valve,
Pcv hose (old)
Throttle body gasket,
Upper manifold gasket (old)
Lower manifold gasket (old)
Dpfe hoses,
Dpfe sensor (looked terrible)
Egr valve,
Front O2 sensor (had pending code)
Air filter,
Fuel injector o-rings,
Cleaned fuel injectors and rail,
Cleaned valves,
Cleaned air intake manifold,
Cleaned throttle body,
Cleaned maf sensor,
Cleaned air temp sensor,
A lot of this stuff needed to be replaced, so most wasnt wasted.
Will be replacing fuel filter today.
