[V8] Bogging Down

[Paul Jager]

Sensors seem to be good .....hmmm don't like the sound of that. You have to 
know they are good and have been replaced on that engine My sensors went at 
the same mileage at it is term exposure heat that does it, like clockwork 
too. I thought it was the fuel pump as well.
If you can spray ice water on the area when the failure occurs you'll know 
right away.

MAF failures are typically no start.And if you do get it going...horrible 
running. Unplug and run in limp mode
TPS ques the idle control to function. Might do some other stuff in 
motronic.
Knock sensors are a timing trim. They retard the timing so it would be loss 
of snappiness but I have never seen any of them fail.
