Well my car is dying and I don't know why. It has done this since I bought it, but it seems to be getting worse. It's a '91 GT...stock motor.
You can watch a video of what it is doing here (YouTube - video) to get a better idea of what it's doing, but I'll try to describe it as best I can.
The car will start up fine and drive normally for a while. Then all of a sudden it will start bucking, missing, and drop RPM. If you watch the video all of the bucking is when I press the gas pedal...it's not me fumbling with the camera. It will stumble around barely running then eventually stop. Once it stops I can try to restart it...sometimes it will start right back up and others it will take a minute before it cranks. Once it starts again it will run fine for a bit, but usually it will act up again and do the same thing.
Anyone one have any ideas as to what's going on?
The car has these mods: BBK cold air, BBK 70mm TB, BBK shorty headers, underdrive pullies,Flows, MSD billet distributor, new Optima battery. The car acted like this before and after these mods.
In chasing down this problem I have replaced the following...none have helped: new fuel pump; new fuel filter, new cap, rotor, wires; new ignition control module; new idle air control; new TPS; cleaned the MAF sensor; new spark plugs gapped correctly; new ignition switch.
I checked the codes and I get:
KOEO 82...can't find a KOEO code but KOER 82 is Air management 1 circuit failure
KOEO 85...canister purge solenoid circuit failure (expected since the emissions stuff is gone)
CM 15...EEC battery powered keep alive memory (KAM) test failed
I think I read them right. It signaled 82 - 85 - 82 - 85...6 or 7 second pause...then 15 - 15 - 15 - 15 (this came out as 15 blinks with no pause between the 1 and 5)
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
