Car seems to be ruining like it has a vacuum leak and when I give it throttle it cuts out...Now at one point I could hear some poping in the intake?...

If you have any idea that comes to mind post it up and ill take a look at it....

 

low fuel pressure or cam timing off are the first things that come to mind. did you change anything on the car before it started doing this?

Got the car from a acution so ive been working on it for some time now...How do I change the fuel pressure?...I would have to take it in to have the cam timing looked at...

Thanks...

 

well, first off, do you have a check engine light on?

for fuel pressure, check the fuel system for leaks or loose connections, or you could possibly have a failing fuel pump.

I wouldn't worry about the timing just yet, there are easier things to check first.

 

Once as a Newbie I got my new spark wires and put them on in the wrong order. Idle was all messed up. Sounds like the same symptoms so hey Maybe

you should hook that back up, the o2 controls your air/fuel ratio which is pretty important considering your problem. Are you sure that is your only cel code?

I had to put a new harness on it and b4 I did it was hooked up and it still ran the same but the new harness I put on (SI) had the o2 cut but ill just take the one off the EX harness I just haven't done it yet....Im going to take it down today and find out if there are any others...

 

Any Idea why my temp gage wouldn't work?...
