Ok, my '89 TII is running pretty bad. I had some people tell me it was a T.P.S. Wich made plenty of scence. Well I just put a new T.P.S. on and no diffrence!!! It's still dumping MASS amounts of fuel into the engine and it still sounds like I am only running on one or two plugs. I just put new wires on. One thing I can think of is the O2 sensor. I just put a new one from Bosh in when me and unique TII put in my downpipe, I was driving it home that night just fine then BAM!!! It all started, and yes I was getting on it pretty good when it happened. It dosent sound blown, I can still drive around but I have very little power. When I downshift and let it wrap down it sounds fine. My turbo is spooling like crazy 'cause it thinks i'm wraped up, but i'm not. Any ideas????????????????????????????????

 

does it idle?

Sometimes, depends on how hot the engine is

 

i would say vacuum leak. most of the "quirks" can be eliminated by fixing all the vacuum leaks

anyone know how to check a coil? Trailer and Leader? Maybe one of those is shot.

 

I just disconnected my O2sensor, and it runs EXACTLY the same, think I could have melted the new one?

 

no, how about spark plugs?

have you thought about checking your fuel plates... if one becomes "frozen" it can really alter fuel delivery... a similar problem happend to my 89 GXL about 4 months ago. :bigthumg:

 

huh???? What are those??? Sorry, i'm not the brightest star in the sky

 

hey here is a wierd one. When my car was running good I had a check engine light on, but now that it's running like crap, it went off, it turned off as soon as it started doing all this!!! that's odd!!!
