Loss of Power

[mofo]

Ok about a month ago... I started loosing power...anything under 2500 rpm I got nothing but a shaky motor. I have to give it about 1/4 throttle before it will even move. It will not idle it at most lights...my gas milage has gone down to about 7 mpg. I have put on a new coil, sprak plug wires, fuel filter, X-pipe and still no change(the X-pipe makes it sound better but no idle change) I am not sure what to do next...kind of running out of money and do not want to keep replacing the wrong items...someone else said it could be my fuel regulator? is that it or could it be my distributor...the mufflers are being replaced with Borla(just in case...he he)
any Ideas?

All the vacum hoses connected and the MAF, IAC, IAT connectors plugged in?

 

[mofo]

I did check all of thoes and they all seem to be ok...now I did "clean" my MAF with some electrical cleaner...but I already had the problem before I did that....did I forget to mention that it is hard to start sometimes...and it is a 95 GT....if that matters

get any smoke/smell? below 2500 is it unusally rough

 

[mofo]

No smoke....sometimes it smells rich...and runs very rough...like I have a huge cam in it...

Does it have a check engine light? If so, go to autozone and have them read the code, they do it for free.

 

[mofo]

Nope...no check engine light...

it's always like this, does it change when the engine has warmed up?

 

[mofo]

Well....it does seem to get worse as it gets hotter....

 

[hicalibrbulit]

have you inspected your plugs? that could tell you if it's running too rich etc. maybe the gap is wrong.

 

[mofo]

I will check them when I get home.....but would the gap do this much damage?

this must be something common with the 95's mine runs the same way but i have the so-called cam. what color is youre car and what area do you live in ?i have a 76mm C&L thats brand new to sell to you if ya want it??? pm me for the infopeace

Check cap and rotor for moisture. Check fuel pressure at idle. stock I think was around 28-32 with vaccuum line on. Check voltage at TPS, should be around .98 volts.

 

[mofo]

ok...so how do I check the fuel pressure? I can't find a port....am I missing something?

If you have stock fuel rails you will use the Schraeder valve on the passanger side fuel line, towards the front of the car. Connect a fuel pressure guage to it.

ok cool...I just saw that lastnigh...so I will try that when I get a pressure gauge....just waitting to get paid before i can buy anything else...lol

 

[mofo]

does it need to be running for that?

 

[Turbosnake95-wk]

does it need to be running for that?

Don't think so, you just need to have the ignition in the run position so you get fuel pressure.
