Lean under load
Lean under load
So i have a 96 1.6 DOHC and my problem is that when i put load (lights or heater or ac...) the idle drops and when driving the car crowls (I HIT THE GAS AND THE CAR GOES TOTALY LEAN). Without loads everything runs great. Could be TPS?

Ibelieve it goes lean because of a reason who says to ECU to cut the fuel. And the symptom is that when i drive and i am in torque with the gas pedal pressed, if i decide to press it more its like i hit the pedal in neutral! It then needs to pump and pump many times to raise the rpm. All these under load. So i checked the tps with the feeler and an ohm meter it is not the cause. Maybe timing? My spark plugs,gaps are new.

i had the same problem before. what i ended up doing is putting in a 90 amp alternator, off of a GS actually mine was off of a Millenia. seemed to solve everything. i could run all acessories on even the A/C. and that was when i had the ATX. and it sux even worse when you have an auto and your bogging down.

How old is your battery? Maybe not enough juice to produce a good spark?
