Ugh, Ima bout ta give up
My car's been having an intermittent hesitation/buck. It comes and it goes. I'm actually just now getting on the ball about fixing it (been setting in garage since Mar. or so, I bought it in Oct.)
Ran codes and got this-
543
Continuous memory codes
176
542
543
I'm doin' a buncha lil knick knack stuff now, even if it may not need it this moment (new plugs/wires/cap/rotor/ACT/ECT)
176- I would write this code off to my long tubes, but last fall I pulled a 176 AND a 177. So that left bank has been throwing codes for awhile, never had one for the other side. I plan on new O2's.
I am thinking about changing the fuel pump. I already have a new 255 that I'd picked up for my now postponed blower project. Might as well put it to use, even if I pulled no codes that necessarily suggest a bad pump.
The 542/543 was didn't concern me much (I'd always heard they were common, "ghost codes") until I read this- http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=477626&highlight=542
I'm a simple cave man, that walkthrough fascinates and frightens this simple mind. Christ, it's gonna take me a couple hours to change plugs and wires.
Any thoughts? I know I didn't ask any specific questions, but I'd love to hear any opinions you may have.
Thanks,
J
