Yesterday I reset base timing and adjusted the fp and it seems my low rpm bucking, jerking, miss is pretty much gone. Here is an update on what I did today:
Now back to what all I saw with my car today. I started it up and still have the sort of flooding sound to crank it when it cranks. Curious, I took the fp down from 37-38 with vacuum line on down to 36.Left the yard and no jerking, no bucking. Smooth 1000 rpm idle driving out the yard. Drove car a few miles to my grandmothers, got down on her good and it pulled very very well, very hard. Didn't seem to have the low rpm miss either. Went to my brother's barbershop for few hrs, 4 mile trip then back to my grandmothers to pick up my son. All total of about 8 miles at most and when I went to go home, engine light came on on the final 2 mile drive. It stayed on for maybe 3 minutes then went out. Got home and did a koeo and koer test and didnt get any codes.
I left to go back up to town and when I pulled into the parking lot CEL came on. When I went to park the rpm's went up from 1000 to 2000 and stayed there for some seconds after I threw into neutral. When I left to go home halfway home I got like a jerk and I not sure if the CEL was still on at the time or not. I know it was on most of way home I think then it went out. I did another koeo and koer test and didnt get anything but the code for egr which is off the car and a 111-system pass. With car running during the koer test, after a few minutes, I just revved engine a little from 1-2000 and then I got a 538. I looked in the book and there is no 538 code. I only got that when I revved the engine a little. Other than that, no code. I'm thinking it must be the IAC or maybe the 02's. I would think the TPS would give a code but maybe none would give a code if it wasnt having the problem during the test. Easy fix is to just go to autozone and get an IAC and see if it still does that and possibly 02s as well and try them . I would try the 02's possibly first then the IAC. Also I when i came back home first time and CEL was on, I unplugged the IAC and the engine light was still on.
It appears 538 is insufficient rpm during koer test. I guess because of me revving from 1-2000.
But the car minus that minor hickup drove and idled well. Only thing now is the CEL and what exactly it is and the way it is starting up and sounding like its flooding. HOpe that the CEL problem when I find and fix that it solves my starting issue as well.
I REALIZED I DIDNT SWITCH CAR OFF FOR BOUT 10 SECONDS AFTER THE KOEO TEST, I JUST STARTED IT UP AND WENT TO THE KOER TEST. BUT CAR DID SIT FOR BOUT A MINUTE SWITCHED ON WAITING TO SEE IF ANY CODES WOULD COME UP AFTER THE FEW CODES OF THE KOEO TEST STOPPED. I GUESS IT SHOULDNT OF MATTERED
