Question tho. For some reason it seems like it runs better with the O2 sensor unplugged. IIRC, thats a major symptom of a collapsed Cat, right?

Unplugged as NOT removed?

So I think I finally got it. After rewiring nearly every circuit under the hood, I decided to check the resistance of everything. Turns out I had an intermittently failing MAF sensor and a high resistance ground on the ECM (line 12)
After rectifying those issues, its back to nearly tio top performance. After about 45 minutes on the freeway I had a little stumbling when I came to a stop, but I'm chalking that up to me fiddling with the idle screw and the TPS probably needing more detailed adjustment. |
Same issues with my sons car

My son has been having the same issues with his royal 88.. he's been throwing parts at it with no luck.. rough idle, stalling. Did you have to replace the MAF sensor? And what was the process to resolve the high resistance ground on the ECM.
thanks in advance! Ive come to the conclusion that it's either A: gremlins, B: still a bad ground SOMEWHERE on the car C: One of the new parts I put in came out of the box bad D: The idler screw is WAY out of adjustment. Sorry I can't be of more help to you. If you want, drop me a DM and I can go over what all I've done in detail with you. |
