Hello all, its been a while.
1994 D1.
Runs strong, then all of a sudden very rich and misfires. Shut off car for 10 sec, restart and back to normal.
Replaced while chasing this:
Rotor, Cap, wires, plugs are good, removed cats (they were clogged per pressure test - which started this mess I think), one O2 sensor pass side, removed cleaned and tightened every ground wire, checked and replaced vacuum hoses, new IAC valve, replaced position sending unit on dizzy (Yes I need to relocate that to the coil), changed coil, checked wiring for tightness to coil/dizzy.
Seems to happen once while driving, usually about 10 min after starting, then it will run fine for hours. I have not changed but might have to: Fuel pump, TPS (although I now have one), MAF, and the list goes on.... Incidentally, mine has no schraeder valve on the fuel rail. I have two others in the part bin that do. Found that strange so will be replacing the rail when the intake etc gets powdercoated.
Almost like you are driving and then remove foot from pedal - but it reeks of gas at that point. I have done extensive reading and replacing, but so far no luck. Also - no codes on the OBDI.
Thoughts from the gurus?
Thanks
Ed
