- VS 1997 equipe v6 shitbox
ok i have a vs series 2 v6. was duel fuel (factory) but its all disconnected now. has a new motor that has 140,00k that came outta same model car. since day 1 of putting it in it has the following symptoms:
Idles rough as hell sort of hunts for revs u can hear it trying to idle right but it cant
When u cruise it at 60 or 80 or 100 whatever it shudders and misses and runs like crap
When u thrash it it drives awesome
Sometimes it drives better than others
The longer i drive it, or let it idle the worse it seems to get
Occasionally i get an intermittant engine light that comes and goes
Surges when accelerating kinda stumbles then kicks in sometimes
Ive done:
Plugs
Leads
Coil packs
Fuel filter
Intake manifold gaskets
Injectors
Injector cleaner (bout 6 bottles over time)
TPS sensor
Coolant temp sensor
MAF sensor
And ive played around with vacuum hoses and charcoal canister (which seems to make no difference at all whether they are connected or not, could be a possible clue...?)
Im absolutely stumped
I will worship anyone that can solve this for me
I will not only worship but pay anyone willing to fix it for me
Spoken to a few different mechanics and cluey friends about this and everyone just scratches thier head and replies... "i dunno"
Please help lol its driving me crazy
Thanks.
