I have an '86 GN that seems run great except it always seemed to get a problem from time to time with the check engine light coming on. When this happens, the car would not idle well and run like crap even sit there and 'chug'. I would generally disconnect the battery and let the computer drain down then fire it back up and things were back to normal.
I want to put it back on the road again after having it garaged for 2 years. I have taken it around the block once a month and this last time the car just seems to 'chug' again. I just sprayed out the throttle body that was dirty. Once I get it started, it was idling ok but as soon as I touch the gas, it breaks up badly chugging like it is missing. I checked my blue silicone hose connections for leaks to and from the turbo as well as the vacuum lines. I just put a new AC Delco EGR sensor on the car. My direct scan trouble codes as before 2 different things at different times. Calpack and Eprom error, then other times a whole list of errors. Resetting the computer and even swapping it out didn't help. I even swapped my chip and put my race chip in it just to see if things improved. NADA...
Any Ideas? I think it could be a MAF problem but I thought that would code if it was so if anybody has had similar probs, let me know. I may have to have it towed to have it checked out.
