OK guys I went and turned on the car today and this is what I got... Im not sure what the problem is. Ive replaced the Cam Position Sensor and the Crank Position Sensor, Also replacing the Knock Sensor that will be in to tomorrow. Also ordering 1G BOV and flange. But im not sure what this could be I mean it sounds like a really horrible idle surge but im not sure so I figured id see what U guys thought of it. Let me know what u think. Idle goes from 1K RPM to like 200 or less rpm almost shuts off then repeats.

Your car is 14 years old. Just replace whatever you think, or whatever people are telling you it may be. Whats the worst that could happen............... You might just have a car that works. The money you spent on a test instrument could have gone towards the repair. Chances are you will be making other mods that might cause a problem to arise with that part anyways.
You said there were some missing fuses? Did you buy it like this or did you remove them? Replace the fuses. I don' mean you or anyone else on here any dis-respect, but if this was a newer car I would understand. Our cars don't age well, especially when not maintained. Everything will go bad in time. If you truly plan to keep your DSM, just do it right the first time.
As I said, this is not intended to provoke anyone, It just gets old reading posts about issues that could easily be corrected.

But would 2 missing ABS fuses have anything to do with the car running like shit? Ive heard sum fuses will make other things run funny also.

I plan on keeping the car and fixing everything on the car. But I can't just replace all the parts everyone suggests. I mean all suggestions help but I need to be able to scan the car because its in loop. That's why it's running like shit and I can't get the car to scan to see what needs to be replaced and fix it. So at this point getting a scan on the car is number 1. Soon as I can scan the car then I can go out and buy everything that needs replaced and fix it. I just picked up the knock sensor today. I replaced the Crank Position Sensor, and the Cam Position Sensor so far. So if its my guess I have another 3 sensors out. But like I said I had it scanned at autozone before I bought a scanner and it won't work.


ALSO the ABS fuses were missing when I bought the car. Just didn't notice it.

Also the guy who had the car before me had some sort of super radio in the car so he had spliced wires everywhere. And like 10 different wires running to the trunk :/

I mean everyone is suggesting things that could be wrong but unless I can scan the car and verify I could just be replacing parts that are fine. I need to see why the CEL is on. Cause if u have 2 many sensors out car goes into loop then runs like shit making guesses. So im pretty sure this is what my problem is now. 3-4 diff sensors out car is running like shit because it doesn't know whats going on. But I can fix the problem because I can't get a scan off the car. I mean it's not like I dun have the money to buy the parts. If U could just get the thing to scan id be great.

To be honest.......... no one knows. Replace them and see what happens. You have to start somewhere. Without a baseline test, you won't know where to start.

Well ima go get the fuses tomorrow I'll let everyone know how that works out.

Ima grab a new o2 sensor for shits and giggles it's probably out 2 .

OK guys have good new. The car no longer kicks and bucks while accelerating Replaced the knock sensor. Order new full polyurethane motor mounts. Only thing left to fix now is the strange idle and I think that's because I need a new MAFS. Also need to fix the problem with not being able to scan the CP for CEL. But other wise the car is running alot better now. Also getting greddy BOV and greddy upper inter cooler piping
