[s-cars] Stumble/PowerLoss Redux

[Dave Forgie]

Can't disagree with Calvin about the O2 sensor possibility.  What I was
sensing as a fuel pump problem could be the O2 sensor sending wonky
signals to the ECU and the ECU incorrectly adjusting the fuel delivery. 
Makes some sense.

If the O2 sensor has been in there for awhile I would suggest checking
the connections (contact stabilizer) and if that doesn't work (probably
won't) installing a new O2 sensor (a topic of a recent thread).

Doug,
Have you tried my suggestion of the 02 sensor yet?  Running great at
WOT
seems odd for an ignition/fuel delivery problem.

Dave,

I know you are correct and I should conduct conclusive tests on the
POS modules and the coils.  Due to the unpleasant working conditions
in my garage, I am trying the "thought experiment" route until things
improve a bit.

If it were coils, wouldn't one expect the problem to occur under high
boost conditions?  Now, I don't have a boost guage, so I am
speculating only, but the problem occurs almost exclusively under
"light" throttle conditions, which I am guessing, is a "low" boost
situation.  That is why I am putting coils lower on the probability
list at the moment.

I suppose it is possible that it is a POS, though my previous
experience was that the failing POS channel was intermittant for two
or three events and then failed conclusively.  This has been
intermittent for the last three or four weeks under daily driving
conditions.  It is possible that I screwed up the plug connections
when I did the pin swap, but why then does it appear throttle related?

Tis a mystery indeed.
