, throught out the range, especially under hard acceleration,and shift poin=
ts. On the way home, holy ^%$&, 25 miles later I must have gone through a =
quarter tank of gas, it would barely idel, acceleration was asking to much,=
had to e-brake to every red light and rev the motor at 3000 to even think =
about getting the car moving from a dead stop. The engine ran like it was a=
3 cylinder not 5.
Details. 110K, fuel filter, pump, plugs, wires, cap, rotor replaced within =
last 2,000 miles. Exhaust spewing god knows what kind of black crap, plugs=
carboned beyond belief (no wonder it won't run), vac hoses look to be fine=
, oil is clean, antifreeze is proper and not leaking (the car sat out side =
for the last two weeks in -10 - +20 temps without being driven). Could the=
cold temp have frozen a switch or sensor? The car seemed to get to temp s=
o I am at a loss as to what the heck is going on.. Thoughts greatly appreci=
