hey everyone!

 

just having an issue with my 94 loyale. I recently replaced the distributor cap and I will be installing new spark plugs and wires, however when driving, my car will have a very unsteady idle or even drop so low that it will die altogether. 

 

 i have to feather the gas just to keep it running while its on the road and if i dont it will stall out and ill have to start it up again.

 

I have sprayed around the lines for vacuum leaks and i have done research on wether its the fuel injector or maybe one of the sensors or the solenoid is stuck open. i am not sure where to go from here.

 

 I have a chiltons repair manual and have looked over what it could be, I would just like a bit more input and direction and hopes its not a big endeavor in both cost and time. thanks! 

 

 

Did this start suddenly (when you changed the cap) or did it slowly creep up on you?

I am leaning towards that once i replaced the cap was when this problem started. I cant say this was happening before then. 

Not quite the same, but I had a Ford that did this and it was an airflow sensor problem. You might give that a shot if all else fails. My engine knowledge is slim to none, though.

Istarted experiencing this very problem (hence the reason I am on here today) after replacing my distributor cap. I also took the distributor out, and reinstalled after cleaning. I figured it might just be off by a tooth.
The rotor is pointing at the number 1 position when reinstalled, but maybe someone could post up a picture of the correct position for the distributor?

I took my dist back out and moved it one tooth over so that the rotor was pointing exactly at the brake booster. boom, fixed!  Try this.
