[V8] Giving in. THANKS EVERYONE!!!!

[KeithT1967 at aol.com]

Oh yes, I remember quite well. Out of probably 50 V8's I've pressure  
washed under the hood, including both of my own many times each, exactly one got  
the crank sensor connections full of water. That would be Bob's. Drove me 
crazy  trying to figure out how a car could run so well below 3k rpm and so 
horribly  above without a single code.

Paul,
Might be a long shot..............but I had water in the  connectors to the 
crank sensors and it caused a similar problem, would only  run up to 3000 
rpm then cut out, almost like a rev limiter.   I'm  sure Keith remembers that 
one!

Idles  fine.
Wont accelerate.
Been through it all. Chased all kinks of  codes. Original ecu was bad. New 
one gave me 2113(iirc).
Changed isv,  then no codes.

distributers, mfs, knock sensors,isv. cps, opened  front of engine up. Belt 
on correct.
Changed cats...New IM gaskets.  Good IM.

You can go to the archives and search "running  issues"

Everyone had great advice. Gave me alot of leads, but no  luck! AHHH!

Bowing to the Audi  Gods.

Hello  All,

Well after almost 8 months of working on and off with this  "running 
issue", I am giving up.
I tried to prevent this lovely from the  "pick'n'pull". 

Clean car. 150k+- 2 owners. But I believe a monkey  "wrench" did something 
to the  car that I have been unable to  correct.

It is for sale locally. But if no luck, it will be a parts  car.

marketplace add coming.

'91 lago blue 7/10
platnum  comfort 8/10
$600./bo
Too much? offer?

NorCal  (Tahoe)

Paul
