Drove the car to work today, no issues, put it under boost a few times. I stopped to top her off and noticed when the car was idling it was idling really high. Looked at my TPS reading and it was a bit high .48, so I decided to take her home and reset the TPS. I set the TPS to .42 @ idle and 4.4 @ WOT. I reset the ECM for $hits and giggles and walla the car starts and warms up to 170 degrees @ 825 RPM's (normal w/218/218 roller cam). All of a sudden the motor idles up to like 2300 RPM and then idles down to maybe 600 -700 RPM shutters, back fires once and dies. So I reset the ECM and go through the procedure again,does the same exact thing except this time I was able to catch the MAL code 42 on the scanmaster.... Anyone ever have an O2 sensor do these type of symptoms and die within a 20 minute period?.... I've had multiple coil packs and Ignition control modules go in almost the same fashion, just not so fast.
