Took the car out yesterday and it died on me. I noticed the idle getting funny while sitting at the red light and the o2' started dropping. Went to hit the gas and the car stumbled, backfired loudly and died on me. Scanmaster shows code 42. When I try to crank it will just turn over, pop and backfire but wont start.
Once the car sits for a while the car will start and idle. After about a minute the o2's will drop,idle will start to die off and the car starts smelling very rich then the car backfires and dies again. After it dies, no start just turns
over and lots of backfiring.
Any ideas as to what the problem may be guys? At this point code 42
keeps popping up.
I posted this issue in the Alky section only because I was posting from my cell phone and it was easier for me to just reply to a existing post versus starting a new one. Sorry for the multiple threads just want get the best exposure for help:redface:
