) That sort of thing. When I'm done, it will be completely stock except for the sound system, the rear compartment, and an intake and exhaust.But, in this process, my baby has developed a bit of a cough or illness. She doesn't like to fire up when she's cold. She's harder to start in the morning (air temp around 60F) but she does the same thing after sitting all day at work, or if she's been sitting for a few hours.. just not quite as bad as in morning. She starts up right away, but when it goes from fast idle to slow idle, she stutters and dies. I have to keep my foot lightly on the gas to keep her running, and after she warms for a few minutes, she'll run on her own.
Possibly related, but not sure, she's leaning out at around 3500 rpm before going rich around 4300-4500 rpm. And by leaning out, I mean my little A/F guage is pegged off the scale into the red. When it comes back and goes rich, it's not as far rich as it used to be consistantly. When she goes lean, it's far enough that you fall forward in your seat with power loss, and she just doesn't pick up and go like she used too.
I've checked the ECU for trouble codes and come up nothing. No engine light while running, temp guage is fine, and what not. Only think that changed was when I got new tires, they gave me a complementry oil change. I'd been using Castrol's synthetic blend, and they put it on a Full Synthetic, which I hadn't done myself because I'm paranoid about the 124000 miles on it. Did that do anything you think?
Any ideas? I'm going to start by replacing the ISC valve and maybe the airflow if I can find one decently priced. Please help, MX-3 Gods!!!
Hope this helps.
