This car ran flawlessly the other day, the next it was mad idle surge, never falls below 1k. I had already replaced the BISS O-ring while it was running fine, since it had never been done. The next day...I don't know what happened...my pocketlogger was showing some crazy knock almost anytime you pushed on the pedal. I replaced the spark plugs (BPR7ES@.28) but they looked okay, they had a slight whitish tint to them but otherwise looked clean. NO fluids in the combustion chamber. This problem exists while the engine is at cold and normal operating temps. Vacumn is 17, all new gaskets. The engine even sounds different..louder.
On another note at idle when it surges up the injector p/w and duty cycle both go up, when the surge goes down both of them hit 0. It's seems to be dumping fuel, then cutting it off completely, and then dumping fuel again repeatedly. ISC readings seem a little flaky... it never hits 120...then again my TPS never went over 50% cause I didn't want to push it with that kind of knock. If you try to maintain any speed at say 35mph in 3rd gear it bucks...bad. That is to say, not accelerating or decelerating.
Knock count hits 42 anytime you put a load on the engine. It's parked...not driving it till it's fixed.
Please give any suggestion you can think of.
If you want the logs I'll put them on my site and link to it. Nothing looks out of place on them...all of the readings are consistent with the wacky idle.
