Wife drove the Sidekick home (about ten miles) in limp-home mode yesterday (said it went from great to crap in about ten seconds). This is a '93 16v JX four-door, auto-trans. Car has 160K on od. but is a tow car for motorhome and actually has only about 60K driving miles, still looks and drives like new (until yesterday
)
The situation now is : it will start, run up to about 1500 rpm and then bog down and quit (this with no acelerator applied). Now, if I unplug the MAP and the TBS it starts, idles smoothly, and can run it up as far as I want rpm wise (in other words, regular performance) I have not driven it like this however.
I did put on a new fuel filter and clean the SS EGR lines. The port in the throttle body is clear, as is most of the system as far as I can see.
Unfortunately I removed the neg. battery cable during the filter change so now the original codes are gone. Now I get a 12 (normal) with everything hooked up, and of course a 22 and 34 Map and TBI with them disconnected.
Moving the EGR diaphragm does cause it to stumble and die, as I suspect it should. At least it's not sticking.
So what's the next step? Any advice would be appreciated!
