Horrible miss on 89 Sub GL

Featured Replies

Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.

I have a horrible miss & chugging on my EA82 89 Sub, 250K miles, it will sometime clear up & run like a champ for a day, or a couple of hours, but then this miss comes back to haunt me. It does not miss in the driveway, under any rpms, just under load, when driving at about 1500 - 3000 rpms.

I have changed all of the below:

spark plugs

spark plug wires

rotor

cap

fuel injector (only the injector, not the whole unit)

fuel filter

air filter

coil

 

It seemed to ok for about a week after I changed the fuel injector, but now is hit & miss. Any other ideas? I am ready give up & park it.:banghead:

Is fuel coming out the tailpipe when its idling? I really don't know much about engines but that would be a huge clue

Hmmm what rpm does it miss at?

And what engine?

 

If its spfi id say check the intake pipe and the maf.

EA82 engine. It misses at 1500 - 3000 rpms, but only under load, when driving. It'll rev fine in the driveway under any rpm.

 

What is maf?

Mass air flow sensor its the sensor on the airbox. If you unplug it it will go into a default setting so if its bad the miss will dissapear if it isnt it wont

When you unplug it the check engine light will come on.
