Dropped the tank yesterday bypassed the fuel pump pulsator, and it still doesnt want to run right. It will buck whenever its over 1/2 throttle, then will boost up ok, going up a hill it will buck really hard and downshift instead of wanting to boost faster, still stumped guys idles really rough now starting to get a downshift clunk 2-1, hesitates/bucks while accelerating

yes it has been replaced 4 times since 92k, had a bosch in it and swapped it with acdelco not even a month or two ago 134k now

PhatMpk

tested all three front coil packs each one sparks with a orange glow , i recently replaced my o2 with a bosch early last year then late last year with a acdelco maybe two months old now, scanned the computer again with the scanner and it didnt show any codes

There's your problem!  Need to have a strong blue spark out of each.

driving down the road today, engine kills and wont start on the middle on a bridge! Almost got hit by a passing mercedes trying to put gas in my tank thinking i had ran out of gas. Luckily saw them at the last second. Tested the fuel rail , and 0 psi is there looks like my band aid bypass on the fuel pump didnt hold the pressure  icon_mad had to tow it back about a mile at which point we tied a rope to the frame of each car and as we pulled out of the first turn the rope lost tension and got stuck under the front tire of my car blocking all the lanes of traffic what a nightmare


ok turning things around to back where i started, Dropped the tank, pulled the fuel pump, hose that was given to me was not fuel grade like a asked for, very spongy after soaking in all the gas popped right off the fuel pump, bought new fuel pump pulsator installed, running now, for the downshift clunk n hard shifting, the air check valve on the trans modulator went bad and was stuck closed, removed it for now as i am in need of a new one, idles really bad, hesitates on acceleration, still keeps hitin the torque converter in fourth gear always wanting to drop back in 3 gear on the freeway, or if it does shift into fourth, loses speed, shudders really bad, then downshifts again to 3rd

waiting on the icm/coils in the mail

Yea same things up with my TGP, stupid hose came off in the tank. I cant get a new pulsator to go onto either my pump or hanger. Its just too tight, lol.

Yes something is definitely wrong as my battery seems to only stay charged just enough to stay running 12.5v, I have gone through like 7 batteries so far every time I bring them back to kragen they put my battery on a charger and its fails to charge correctly they send me home with a new battery that doesn't last very long before it seems like the lights get dimmer, changed the battery today but still no improvement the previous owner told me he just replaced the alternator at 92k

PhatMpk

its like the miss is intermittent when it starts up it is doing its normal cycle now, revs to 2k then comes to 1k as soon as is hits 1k the missing starts, the missing and hesitating varies on each run, I was lookin at those wires yesterday the ground the mounts up right near the intercooler really inspecting this car it has been in California all its life except 1 year in the Minnesota weather and really has 0 rust on it anywhere, grease is all over the place tho from the river of oil that was coming from the oil pump driveshaft, everything seems ok is there anyway to test with a volt/ohm meter
