So I eliminated the Fuel ECU after jumpering the plug and the problem didn't go away.

I replaced the Coolant Temp Sensor, no change.

I went and bought a new coil and tried it on both sides and the problem didn't change regardless of side,

I totally disconnected the MAF and the problem didn't change.

Going to take apart the plastic and check the cap and rotors and see if those are worn on one side or the other.

It does stink a little and I can hear the cats popping when I turn it off.


any ideas are appreciated!!!

 

How about the idle air c

 

How about the idle air cOntrol valve. Have you checked this. Could be stuck open.

 

Left the Neg cable off the battery for 30+ mins last night after changing the ECT Sensor, no change.

Going to check and clean the IACV tonight
Planning on returning the new Coil I bought yesterday since it didn't do anything and get into the plugs.

At this point, assuming the IACV is ok, I can really only imagine that it is the distributor/rotors, plugs, or cables. I just know I need to get it fixed before I am looking at replacing cats, which I cannot afford right now!

Anyone see any holes in my thought process?
