Hello There,
I was wondering if someone could shed some light on this problem.
I was driving my Mustang 95 GT last weekend and, I was returnign from a 60 miles trip, when the Check Engine light started keeping coming on and off .
Then, I noticed that the car behavior was like it was starving and getting not enough fuel at full throttle.
After running about 50 miles in that condition, I stopped by a gas station to pump some gas and... The car did not want to start again!
I tried to start the engine for 30 minutes and, when I was just about to give up and get the Mustang towed, it started (the engine was a bit cooler then).
However, it was not a normal start, I mean, it did not start smoothly, it gasped a lot before running ok. I manage then to drive the car home.
Yesterday, I tried to start the engine again (the Mustang is not my daily driver) and it was again hard to do it.
When it finally started, after some gasps, it ran ok in idle for 10 minutes and even at full throthle it did not gasp at all.
Today, I tried to start it again and I gave up, fearing that I could damage the starter motor.
Well, I have read the EEC memory codes and they look like this:
172 – Heated Oxygen Sensor indicates lean condition, right side.
176 – ditto, left side.
181 – Adaptive Fuel Rich Limit Reach at part throttle, right side.
189 - Adaptive Fuel Rich Limit Reach, left side
Any idea what this could be?
Should I expect the Fuel Pump to be failing soon?
Thanks for reading. Any input will be appreciated.
