1990pathy Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 So my pathy has an issue where it likes to bogg out only when cold or at first start up when I start to take off. It will back fire(once and a while) and just have no power. Where would I start. I know it's not the Maf wire. That's good. I do notice when I will be on the freeway my check engine lite will flicker on. When I let off the gas it goes away(this is another thing wrong) then when back on throttle the light comes on. Tps sensor bad maybe. I just don't know. Fuel pump going out !!! Thank you in advance for any help. I'm not on here much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor636 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I'd check codes first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 ^Yep. It could be a lot of things and that is the best thing to check first as it is free and easy and can point you at the issue. There is a write up on the procedure in the Garage/How To section. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990pathy Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Ya I did it a while ago but there was nothing throwing a code but I'll try it again tomorrow too see if it's saying something different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990pathy Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Ok so it threw two codes 33 heated oxygen sensor and 45 fuel injector leak!!! Anyone know how to look for a leak. I don't smell has and there's no wet spots where the fuel injectors are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Pull the plugs and compare them, the black and/or wet one(s) are the issue. Running rich might have fouled your O2 sensor, and you might be able to 'clean' it with a torch like 88pathoffroad did. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990pathy Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 So when I pull the plugs and if there is a wet black one that looks like its not right how would I fix it ??? New fuel injector seals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Or injector, depends what the failure mode is. I know you can have injectors tested, but depending on price... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990pathy Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Failure mode???? What's that mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990pathy Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 any ideas guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Failure mode means what part of the system has failed, or what off of the list that could be a culprit. In your example, there are only a few ways an injector can leak. Ok, did you pull the plugs? Did you identify the cylinder? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 He means how or why it failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
