    93 LX 2.3L - Hesitation/Loss of power

    Yesterday I started it up and gently wiggled and pulled on the wires of the icm, pcm, coil packs, and plug wires. No issues. No hiccups. Engine mounts looked OK from what I could tell. What ground points do I need to look at? When I was doing the testing with the obd1 tester the other week...

    93 LX 2.3L - Hesitation/Loss of power

    Update: The issue is not resolved. I let it sit a few days. Drove it today. It had been started not 2 minutes prior, so totally cold start. It had a total loss of engine power twice not long after pulling out of my driveway. It did this twice, in quick succession. After that, it didn't happen...

    93 LX 2.3L - Hesitation/Loss of power

    And to add, when I saw the loss of power issue prior to the coil pack swap, it was normally around 35 to 40MPH.

    93 LX 2.3L - Hesitation/Loss of power

    Just an update: After I cleared the codes, I went ahead and ordered a replacement coil pack and installed it yesterday in place of the rear coil pack (for the right hand, passenger side plugs). I have driven it once last night for about 40min, and once today for about 45min, it sat for about...

    93 LX 2.3L - Hesitation/Loss of power

    Thanks. I'll see if I can check the wire colors as well. I see there is a condenser on the front coil. Are those normally a problem? I have quite a few of those working with small engines.

    93 LX 2.3L - Hesitation/Loss of power

    I see what they mean by "right side" on the coil packs after looking at them. It looks like that would be the rear coil pack (closest to the firewall). So then is that the ignition plugs or the waste plugs? https://photos.app.goo.gl/ujHii77F62TuroiQ7 I have cleared the codes according to the...

    93 LX 2.3L - Hesitation/Loss of power

    I'm going to disconnect the battery to wipe the codes, drive it around again, and then test it again while it's still warm. How can I tell which coil pack the 222 code is referring to? It says "Right" but is there a "right side"? I could try swapping them around and seeing if I get a different...

    OK, so you would not replace the cats with an H pipe or X pipe?

    93 LX 2.3L - Hesitation/Loss of power

    Here are the codes I got with KOEO and KOER. KOEO: 111 10 222 KOER: 20 10 116 411 538 521 I wasn't sure how long to let it run, but it finally stopped blinking the square and I assumed it was finished. I'll post the video as soon as it uploads. When I turned the tester off, it stalled for a...

    93 LX 2.3L - Hesitation/Loss of power

    Don't mean to sound dumb, but if my CEL isn't on, would I still have codes? I have one of these but haven't used it too much. I realize this is prior to OBD2. Sorry, I'm not too well versed on working on cars. I'm better with IT and small engines. View...

    93 LX 2.3L - Hesitation/Loss of power

    Don't know if any of this is related, but: For additional info, occasionally (not often), it will idle rough when I come to a stop, but then pick back up and idle normally. Again, not often. And, the fan kicks on at a cold start often, for a few minutes and then cuts off normally. Fan operates...

    My wife has a 92 GT 5.0 convertible - all stock. Automatic trans. She has been wanting a better sounding exhaust on hers, and is somewhat jealous of mine (93 GT 5.0 - straight pipes with flows). I have noticed some rust holes right where the pipe bends up behind the muffler. So I feel like...

    93 LX 2.3L - Hesitation/Loss of power

    I have a 93 LX 2.3L. I drive this car about once a week. Over the past 6mo or so, I have noticed that shortly after starting it up, it runs and idles fine, but shortly after leaving, it will sometimes jerk and I lose power - almost like a flip the key off for like 300-500ms. Yesterday it did...
