Well, after the BS at the other site, I will try this one!
3.0L engine that while driving went "poof" and died. Got it running again, but just enough to limp the 2 blocks home. Day before I was over 600 miles away! Lucky it happened when it did for sure.
Here's whats happening now:
1. Pulled plugs and #2,#5 and #6 were black from carbon fouling. Others looked fine. They were replaced less that 1200 miles ago.
2. Idle is rough! Definite gas smell from exaust. Sounds like a diesel.
Things I have done to this point:
1. AIC - replaced gasket and cleaned with brake cleaner.
2. EGR - looks ok, replaced gasket. Will test tonight to see if I can make vacuum work on it.
3. Vacuum leaks, can't find one anywhere! Hoses look good. Fitings all snap good.
4. Replaced upper manifold gaskets.
5. Pulled both after 02 sensors to look for damage. None noted.
6. Pulled first muffler after 3rd CAT to look for debris. Not a thing in it. Then seperated Cat from flex pipe and looked in front. Clean screen and no debris.
7. Checked all COP's for 12v. Tested both "hot and ground" for open and none noted. All tested 12v.
8. Tested all injectors for resistance in place. All were within the 11.3 - 11.5 Ohm range.
9. Pulled PCV valve and hose. Both looked good.
10. Had wife hide all flamable liquids as I am ready to douse this sucker and watch it burn! :mad5:
I see BogHog is here. Thanks for your help at the other site before it desinigrated and I lost what you suggested.
I can't get it running good enough to idle on its own without keeping some throttle on it. I keep wondering if its PCM, Injectors, COPS, or ? I think the CATS are still good as I don't have any debris in the system. Guess they could be plugged up, but would have figured to find something!
Took a 40% pay cut to stay employed, so I don't have the $ to replace any unnecessary parts.
Thanks for any advice
