A few of you guys know, over the last year or so I have been trying to put my 1994 GT back to driver status.
The main reason the car was parked for so long was a leaking Aode transmission with reverse issues got replaced with a used aode with only one forward gear.
The car is mostly stock-
•stock fuel pump
•stock injectors
•stock intake
•stock throttle body
•E303 cam-which it has had for several years
•typical headers-X pipe and two chambers
The car runs pig rich at times, randomly dies, surging idle at times, and slow to rev when warm.
I replaced and reran a lot of the vacuum lines,I haven’t found a leak anywhere. I have done the base idle reset, as well as replace the iac and throttle position sensor over the last year. Along with the temp sensor and a healthy cleaning of the maf.
I have been through @jrichker ’s checklist several times with not much change.
Where do I go from here guys? What would you suggest?
The other part to my extremely long line of questioning- the Aode transmission is a fresh rebuild ,less than 10 miles on it. New converter, fresh fluid at the correct level. Only things different are a Transgo shift kit and an aftermarket transmission cooler.
When driving the car,as long as I am leaning on it pretty good-the car pulls strong and up shifts like a champ. But under part throttle, light throttle-it will buck and shudder , almost to the point of bogging down and killing the engine and will only downshift under hard acceleration.
Am I having running issues and transmission issues-or do you think my poorly running engine is causing the transmission issues?
I’m lost guys-and a bit overwhelmed lol any ideas would be greatly appreciated
