1990 RUNS ROUGH

Post by KDSUSPENCER1 »

My Cabby starts and runs good for about 30 to 60 seconds. Then starts running very rough and loses power. The only way I could get it home is by "surging" the gas pedal. If I held a steady speed it ran extremely rough. 1st thought was ignition so plugs, wires, cap and rotor replaced and timing checked. Runs worse under load. Checked vacuum lines. Also if I let it run for a couple of minutes at idle and then turn it off the motor "diesels" before it quits. PLEASE HELP!

Replace the blue cts sensor on the front water outlet flange, do it on a cold engine.

Second. Is there a loud whine from the rear passenger side of the car? if no, then get thee to a bentley and
do the fuel pressure checks, pay careful attention to the fuel pressure regulator tests...

Third, replace all your grounds.......Battery to frame frame to engine/tranny
