OK, did a few things to the car and actually got it running pretty good. Took her around the block, made some adjustments and she runs like a champ. Parked it, yanked the maf pipe off to clean it, put it back on and now the car won't stay started. Runs for like 2 seconds and quits. Ok, forgot to plug the maf back in. Plugged it in and the car runs fine now. Go out for like 5 hours come back and same thing, car won't stay started for more than 2 seconds. Starts every time, just won't stay running. MAFs still plugged in. NOW what?
So I stay in it, and keep the idle up with my foot for like 5 minutes. After that I get out of the throttle and the car stays running now. So now I'm trying to adjust idle quality all over again with the translator, and zero, zip. It's like I'm not even adjusting anything. I'm at the low load @400 and @800 rpms section, trying to pull fuel. I yanked ALLL the fuel out of those two rpm ranges and nothing happens. So in the past, was I not even really adjusting anything at all then? Was it all a placebo? Why doesn't it adjust anything any more?
But my gauges are going in opposite directions. The wide bands saying super rich, and the block learns pegged at 142. Tell me how the block learn is telling me it's too lean & I'm trying to add fuel, while the wide bands floating around 12. The exhaust's spittin all sorts of fuel out and my eyes are watering.
I have fuel pressure. I don't get it... I had my iac's perfect and my AF was text book. It sits for a while and now it went tits up without me touching a thing. I'm lost-allll over, yet again.
