Well here it is again, A spinoff problem of the WOT misfire I was having.
I replaced the maf with a calibrated PMAS, installed a kirban FPR (the holly was letting fuel into the vac. lines) and Fuel pressure gauge W/autometer braided line on the cowel so I can see actual realtime fuel pressure. Changed the plugs, #7 appeared pitted,(the wire was touching the oil dipstick) most were oily/black carbon. Changed the oil, and installed an accumulator in the PCV line. It now catches an ounce or so of oil residue per every few WOT blasts through the gears. Set the fuel pressure to 40psi timing to 17*. I'm going to lean it out, because I know the 30lb injectors are overkill, and are only really needed when spraying.
Replaced the wires with taylor thundervolt (50ohms/ft).
Listened to the injectors, all were firing properly....
And preiviously just replaced the TFI, tested TPS, replaced vac. lines (all), PCV, and cleaned all connectors and grounds etc etc etc...
So now the power is back but the thing surges at idle, and sometimes gets so low it shuts off. If I hold the rpms steady at 1300rpm, then give a real quick tap to 2/3 on the pedal, you can hear the throttle body whooosh open and the air rush in but it takes a moment for the rpms to come up. It hicups then builds gradualy, slow and sluggish (rich). It used to be razor sharp. While driving in 2nd; 2500rpm I hold the gas steady and it bucks and seems to cut out slightly...Very annoying to drive in traffic especially with the hunting idle. (sometimes up to 1700rpm up and down back past the 1000rpm ideal idle to 500-600rpms...
Seems low on power everywhere, but past 3500 things seem to get better, smoother more linear. (02 sensors gone bad??). I need to get my WB02 and tweecer...!!! Driving my crazy not being able to see what's going on!
Thanks for any ideas!!
