I am trying to fix Moms car, the problem is fuel related I think..
A) 100% of the time there is only half power, the car bogs and stutters with anything past half throttle about 3000 to 4000 rpm it acts like it is hitting a rev limiter or governor. No check engine light.
B) Occasionally, the car will just die, not shut off but will slow to a crawl, will not accelerate past idle. When it's in that condition, if I put a fuel pressure gage on the rail, it shows only 20 LBS of pressure @ idle, drops to 16 when the throttle is blipped (engine revved)
flashes shown in the self test
A) KOEO (4 quick flashes then all regular flashes) (4 quick ) then 1 2 2 3 3 5 then 1 2 2 3 2 6 then 1 1 2 2 3 2 6 1 2 2 3 (not sure if or when it is repeating, not sure if I read it wrong the first time)
B) (Engine running) 3 2 6 5 3 6 6 3 2 3 2 6 5 3 6 6 3 2
C) (engine running throttle blip) 9 9
Changed the maf and tps, no change in trouble with wot.. Car has not done the other thing in over a week of daily driving..
Also noticed 2 hairline cracks in the line between the exhaust and the EGR. There is some exhaust soot around the cracks. Would a defect or problem with EGR cause such a dramatic drop in fuel pressure and or the trouble with wot? Or is the fuel pump on its last leg?
No pinging BTW..
Any info would be greatly appreciated..
