car surges then dies *HELP*
hey guys,
Im new here and need some help.
I noticed my Service Engine light come on about a week ago and the car started to act funny. I take it to Autozone to get it scanned and they tell me its my O2's, so I go home check out my car and notice that one of my O2 sensor wire has been cut (speed bump) so I drive the car like that til the weekend.
Now this past weekend I fixed the wire and reset the computer, to my surprise a few minutes later the light comes back on.
I wait til the week after to work on the car and take it to Autozone again
this time I come back with 12 codes!!!
WTF!!!??
P1151
P1409
P0161
P0156
P0155
P0153
P0141
P0136
P0135
P0133
P1451
P0443
I already know what the codes are so I dont need help on that.
My question is "where do I begin to look/track the problem?"
-I already cleaned all 4 sensors, MAF, injectors, EGR, IAC
and nothing, I changed the spark plugs and fuel filter just for the hell of it just incase because it was due anyways but still nothing.
the car, when cold-started, wont die but then after a few seconds of being on it surges then dies.
I have to give it gas to keep it from turning off (while in park or idle) but as soon as I start driving, as long as I dont suddenly give it gas or floor it, then it wont die but if I do, it will surge then die.
If i come to a stop as long as I come to it slow it wont turn off, if I suddenly stop again it will surge then die.
If the car is warm and is either in idle or park it will stay on most of the time, but in the rare cases it does turn off, it takes about 10min (while warm and in idle or park)
the car is a 2002 Mustang GT
sorry it was long, just want to detail everything I have been through
