The EEC keeps giving me codes:
177 and 176 (left O2 running LEAN and RICH) for quite a while. So I went ahead and replaced both O2's with Bosch's and I am still getting the same results (although when the car is running right, it feels a little smoother).Code 311 (Thermactor air system inoperative - right) and 314 (Thermactor air system inoperative - left) Is this one the result of having removed all the smog setup?
trouble code references:
My problem: The car starts to stutter and bog down very badly as if it was not getting any gas at all. This happens anytime from morning commute to work or when the car is already warm. The only way I can get it to drive normal again is if I mash my petal at WOT, then suddenly the problem goes away instantly for a couple of minutes.....then the stutter/choking/bogging down comes back. The engine light does not always come on though, but it has a few times while the car is driving fine (perhaps using backup tables?).
The only way I can avoid all these problems is just unhooking both O2 sensors and driving like that. Then, the car will NEVER give me these problems at all. The TPS checks out fine, car feels strong as if normal. EEC appears to use it's backup maps (naturally with check engine on)
Anyone can give me any idea on what else to check for? I am going crazy and I am about to pull my hair out....
