hello all,
at 101,000 miles it had the check engine light on. i undid the battery and put some water in it and cleaned it.
changed spark plugs with bosch supers and medium quality wires(which i know better now then to use those),oil + filter,transmission + filter,air filter,and pcv valve. i did not change the fuel filter.
ran fine before, it then sputtered and stalled. re-checked wire order 3x. no luck. went to auto store, chilton manual had exactly what i had for wire order, the guy pulled up different wire order on computer. so i tried his wire order, no luck. then i just switched them all over the place.
then i put old plugs(denso) and wires back on. the plugs i pulled out were blackened fouled. now it is surging when i start it, up to about 1100rpm down to 300rpm or so then surges back up, does that a few times and then stalls.
i would like to know what plug wire is where on the engine if anyone can help me with that.
can i still get a code since i have had it started (and surging)if i undid the battery and pulled the efi fuse to reset the computer? does anyone have a list of codes and their meaning(im pretty poor)?
i would also like to know what i might be missing maybe with this surge and die. tps,egr,choke,coil,maf,etc ???
please help im exhausted with this thing.
thank you,thank you, thank you in advance,
