The problem car is a '96 Cabrio with 123K miles on the clock. I'm getting fuel at the engine.I pulled both fuel lines and they gush fuel when I turn the engine over.I'm also getting spark when I put the coil wire up against the engine while it's cranking.I tried disconecting the Oxygen sensor.No difference. When it was still running,the engine was putting out two codes that tell me there is a 'general missfire' and the #1 cyl. is missfiring. While the car is cranking,I can feel pulses of air coming out of the exhaust pipe,so
*I don't think* the CAT is plugged.I have noticed the rotten egg smell on ocassion which could mean the CAT is toast,or perhaps the engine is running too rich. (???????)The car started jerrking,and hesitating while it was still running.If I floored the gas pedal,the engine would want to quit.If I kept the gas pedel depressed at a conservative level,the car would continue to run.I just made it into my driveway when it quit altogether. I recently replaced a bad knock sensor,(found via engine code) but the car has had hesitation/misfiring symptoms for quite some time...
Any advice would be very greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!
