Need Some Direction.... Stumped
My harmonic balancer was on its way to cupuut. So i bought a new one and installed it, pretty simple process other than the one and only bolt that i believed turned the camshaft a few times.<--- (Could this have thrown my timing off) Car started up and drove 10 miles home care free. I wake up the next day drive about 2 miles on the interstate and all the sudden the car isnt accelerating. Look down rpms are dropping and the engines not reving, then it catches and tries to accelrate and then stops again. I pull over car in neutral coasting to a stop and try to restart. Cranks and cranks but wont start up. Walk 2 miles home, come back an hour later car starts up right away and i throw it into gear and it dies. So i feathered the brake and gas to keep it from dieing when i switch it into gear. And make it home throwing it in neutral when approaching lights. Now it will start a few times when left alone for awhile but wont start if you keep starting it. I can get like 6-8 starts and then it will decide to not startup again. Other than that, when i throw it into any gear but neutral the car will die unless i shoot rpms up 2 3000 then throw it in gear, but the minute i let that gas sit the rpm's steady fall. Changed the harmonic balancer wich was the only problem at the time. Figured i give a tune up so changed plugs, wires, oil, o2 sensor and a MAF sensor ($200 that didnt fix the problem.) Gonna change the fuel filter tomoro and see if that fixs both problems but highly doubt it, fuel pump i can hear working so i excluded that one. Im down to IAC motor, EGR valve, PCV valve, or the fuel pressure regulator somehow blocking fuel to the rail. Will perform PCV valve shake test and hopefully exclude that and an egr valve isnt cheap so is there a way i can test it or something. Im so lost on were look now.
BTW i took it to JENSEN TIRE for a diagnostics, spent a hundred bucks and recieved a diagnostics that my 5 yr old sister could have diagnosed. Anywayz screw them that wont be happening again so i need you guyz, anything.
