Ok so this problem has just started about two or three weeks ago and I have been trying to figure it out but can't!
It first started with a small misfire at idle, then got a bit worse, nest it started due it while cruising. I got new plugs and wires, I have played with the gap of the plus and it seems .030 works the "best"! :/
Now about a week and a half ago it started doing something else that just keeps me wondering.
When i'm cruising, giving it some, half throttle, or how ever else you can drive it will do this; when I let off the gas to shift or just let off for whatever, it goes ALL THE WAY Rich for a 2 seconds or so, then when I go to press the gas it leans all the way out and stays lean (17.0-17.5 or more) for a good few seconds (depending how fast I open the throttle. Some times it can stay lean for a while if i just have it on the slightest throttle position!
I have had a surging idle for the longest time I can't seem to fix and get worse in the cold (and i mean bad). And The misfire is still present!
But I was thinking the Throttle Stop Switch and Throttle Positioning Switch are bad! And thoughts on bad o2 sensor?
Also got a new diaphragm from my AFPR that im ging to put in (because i'm getting fuel leaking from seal *small leak*)
Would anyone agree with me on this, or can I get some advice?
Thanks,
Shawn
