1987 2.3 automatic 2wd.
When I'm driving down the road and stop at a stop sign it seams to idke fine. Idles fin in the yard. But soon as I try to take off it breaks up and has no power unless I put it on the floor. Even then, it doesn't have the power. Like I'm dragging a boat anger. Smells ritch sometimes. Not very sharp on electronic feul injection in gas burners. Also I do not have an OBD1 scanner...trying to do this blind.
 
Codes ALWAYS help.
Fortunately you don’t need a scanner to run codes on the OBD1. You just need to run a jump wire from the test connector.
