Well my car has been throwing code 43(fuel delivery), 17(VSS), and 1(Primary o2) for sometime now. Haven't been too worried about since i will be convertion to obd-1 here pretty soon. As I was driving this morning my car all of a sudden started feeling very sluggish and very slow. IT felt like I was driving my old DX! The car idles fine and will move but my question is what could be wrong? Im betting money its either the FPR or maybe an injector. Any Input appreciated

I SEARCHED OK!

 

i would check the injector and fuel filter first.. then try some rxp..

 

change the o2 sensor with a good known working o2 sensor

 

talked to Allan (Ch3mik) and said it may be fuel filter>?

 

Well the last time something last this happen to my friend delsol... was running sluggish.. he chg out the injector and it rain good.. so it can be a few things... good luck

 

yeah thats the bad thing about code 43 its not very specific........i dont think its fuel pump because it idles fine

 

anyone else?

 

I'd say check the injectors.

Do you have a Helms?

You're going to need to grab a multimeter and have the injector specs handy.

yeah thats what i was going to do tonite as soon as i got home! im hoping its an injector...........and it would be an easy fix!

 

i had a code 43... ended up being the tip of the injector was cracked and it caused the pintle to stay stuck open so it was spraying fuel the whole time... it also got horrible gas mileage and sounded like it was misfiring... i would also check the o2, fuel filter, fuel rail, etc

 

yeah im planing on replacing fuel filter and maybe do an aftermarket fpr.........

 

u dont need no aftermarket FPR foo. check the filter first. check your vacuum lines also. I had a similiar situation once. ended bein an unplugged line, car ran like crap and stunk. get the 02 replaced as well

tried a known good dizzy no start...........timing is off!

 

i was gonna say that your cat might be clogging up...i had a similar problem and that is what it was. do you have a cat?

 

yep!

 

I had problems with code 43 a few times now. 1st time it was because 1 of the clips for the injectors wasn't completely down....looked like it was but clicked in when i pushed it in. (that'll do it if you don't have the metal clip going around it to hold it down) Another time it was simply just the o2 sensor.
