So I need help. Last night I drove the car, probably a good 15 miles. Got on it a bit, enjoyed it, but didn't abuse it like I will soon enough. It drove fine mechanically speaking.
Today I go get the car weighed, and on the way back to the garage it started to hesitate. I figured it was completely out of gas since the light was on. Put 15 bucks in it, and went to do some errands. Did MAYBE 10 miles, and burned 1/8th of a tank according to the gauge. Now the car runs like poop. Best I could describe is it feels like the MAF is bad. It will idle rough and almost stall out, then spikes to 1,200 rpms and settles at 5-700 until it starts immediately sputtering again. If you give it any gas it feels like its running on 6 cylinders. I checked the main grounds, the coil, MAF and all seem to be functioning as the car runs significantly worse without them. I ended up waiting 10 minutes, fired it up again and tried to drive home. It will sparatically go between driving like **** and driving fine. It seems that in the higher revs it has no issues. I ended up having to drive around town in 1st or 2nd above 3,000 rpms. It would rev fine and drive smoothly. Anything below that and it would just feel like someone shut the car off and turned the ignition back on with your foot on the gas.
I should note, I couldn't install defoulers on the o2 sensors yet since the ones I got didn't fit so they are going to read rich since the cats are gutted. One of the o2 sensors is also somewhat physically cracked. The body has a horizontal crack in it that is exposing the insides. I know the car is running insanely rich, but I haven't hooked up my wideband yet to know exactly how much.
Anyone have any ideas?!
