my 97 2.2L sunfire is having some major probs. To start, i have to push the accelerator to the floor to get it to start. when it starts, it is rough and smokes for about 10 sec then quits and smoothes out (when i hold it at about 2000rpm). if i drive and then stop, it starts it again then dies and goes back to prob. 1. 2nd, i have fuel leaking into the intake hose when parked. Already replaced TPS, Plugs, Wires, fuel filter, and this has gotten worse over about 3 weeks.
OBDII indicates codes P1441 (Man. Control Evap Emissions), P0121(TPS)[already replaced though] and P0300(Random Multiple Misfire). Could it be the FPR, or IAC? Or could it possibly be a timing issue? Timing Chain has been ticking for about a year and a half but never had this prob b4. PLz. Help!
