I just replaced my plugs, old plugs had normal wear. Nothing out of the ordinary.

What do you mean by diaphragm on the dist? Mine is just the regular rotor, cap and wires setup. Where would my tp be exactly? Connected to the block somewhere? I have looked around the engine bay more times than I care to admit and am pretty positive all vacuum lines are good/connected.

Bad news, not the exhaust. Sorry for the delay with the results. At this point I am thinking maybe timing which would be very sucky. Would the distributor have an impact on the engine like this? Or just the timing belts?

fair enough! the car is sitting at work right now, so ill go in and check it out tomorrow and report bac with news!

is the cat being clogged a possibility with only 90,000 on the car?

I can give that a shot! the CEL went away when I replaced the ETS

I checked the exhaust using a vacuum cleaner. I read on another thread that if you disconnect the exhaust from the engine and hook a vacuum up to the tailpipe and can feel suction on the other end than its fine.

what is the TP sensor? you mentioned two other things I have already checked out as well. I replaced all the plugs and replaced what looked like the factory fuel filter. it has a distributor, rotor, wire type setup and I cleaned all the metal inside.

Hello! I have a 1993 Loyale with just over 90 on the clock that has just started acting up on me. i have been combing the threads and tried about everything i could find and am still having issues! The main big problem is that it seems to be in some kind of "limp" mode. Absolutely minimal power when you press the accelerator down. i can get it up to about 25 mph and then no faster. Engine is not over heating as far as i can tell but when i run it and it gets to temp and the idle settles down the exhaust manifold seems to overheat. It is burning off old crud and smoking a little. Background: Water pump and cooling fan needed to be replaced. While replacing found that master cylinder and brakes needed some love so they were replaced as well. I got car back and drove for about 4 days before it started doing this limp mode thing out of nowhere. So i started researching on here. I pulled the MAF sensor and it seems to be in good repair and clean. I pulled the exhaust of the engine and checked it doing a vacuum test i found on here. (hook vaccuum up to tail pipe and see if it struggles with manifold disconnected) It passed that test. So i read the code off the ECM. EGR, which seems like an easy fix right? Wrong! Replaced the EGR solenoid and still have the same issue. Back to the drawing board. at this point for some reason the car's idle has started acting very weird. Surgin to 2500 and lowering to about stalling, on and off without rhyme or reason. I read that the Engine temperature sensor can affect idle and fix the speed issue, so i replaced it today. Idle is back to normal and check engine light is gone BUTTTTTTTTT car still has no engine power!! I am at a loss at this point and would appreciate ANY help!! Thanks in advance! -Devin
