If you can't fix it with a hammer and a welder then your gonna need a new one!

My first thought would be fuel. Make sure your return line is unrestricted back to the tank. Make sure there is not a negative pressure in the tank. Try pulling off the gas cap and see what happens. What are you using for a fuel pump? Same injectors as before?

If the low end loping was fixed with the alternator I guess we can eliminate vacuum lines as the culprit.


Run a compression check.

Here is my troubleshooting tree....

Poor High Speed Operation

Low fuel pump volume Faulty pump or restricted fuel lines or filters

Poor MAP sensor signal Test MAP sensor, vacuum hose and wiring

Poor Oxygen sensor signal Test for shorted or open sensor or circuit

Open coolant temperature Test sensor and sensor circuit wiring

Faulty ignition operation Check wires for cracks or poor connections,
test secondary voltage with oscilloscope

Contaminated fuel Test fuel for water or alcohol

Intermittent ECM ground Test ECM ground connection for resistance

Restricted air cleaner Replace air cleaner

Restricted exhaust system Test for exhaust manifold back pressure

Poor MAF sensor signal Check leakage between sensor and manifold

Poor VSS signal If tester for ALCL hook-up is available check that VSS
reading matches speedometer

Have you run another self test on the EEC?

ok...KOER(12,21,94,44,33) KOEO(81,82,85,84)

l swapped out the MAF and fuel pump relays with new replays. i cant slowly bring engine up in rpms...but can not stab the throttle
