More on strange behavior
Hello again,
Thanks for all the replies, everyone's willingness to help out
always amazes me...
Last night I replaced the fuel filter, cleaned the ISV, cleaned and
tested the rotor/cap, removed and inspected the turbo hoses, checked for
misc. vacuum leaks, and inspected the plugs. What I found was that the
car is running extremely rich. I cleaned the plugs about four days
prior to the problems, so I know that the fouling is a result of it. So
far, everything I check turns out OK. The car still tries to die and
then quickly catches itself providing the gas pedal is held at the
desired level. If I try and give it more gas or let up, it dies and
then is difficult to start. Although, I don't have any problems with
cold or warm starts. Also, I still don't get any fault codes or low
boost problems. Any more theories? Could this be a problem with some
temp sensor running the cold start valve or something? Again,
everyone's help/experience is greatly appreciated. TIA
