First let me say that the car has pretty much sat with no engine and tranny since mid 2006. I got my engine ready and dropped it in recently. It seems to run pretty good, but I have one issue I can't pinpoint. I have an early version of turbotweak wideband chip. I am running type II coilpack and module that has worked fine in the past. Stock cam sensor and and crank sensor.
When out on the highway, cruising around 75 or so..... it sputters and misses intermittantly from time to time. You roll into the throttle a little and as the boost starts to roll from vacuum into boost.... and it pulls smooth as silk. Pull off a stop sign.... and it pulls fine.
On a more severe miss while cruising, it is like the converter unlocks and the SES light flasses for a split second...and then it is fine.
I have several underhood connectors not being used and a couple that could use replacing. The not used ones are:
1.) 2 connectors for the powermaster (I converted to hydroboost)
2.) wastegate solenoid
3.) EGR
4.) Inlet air temp (unused when you run a wideband chip)
My TPS connector has the tab broke/missing to keep it fully seated, although this has been like that for years. My injector harness connector on the firewall also has a broken tab that keeps it fastened securely. I currently have it taped up.
I am wondering if I am having an intermittant crank sensor issue.... or I have an electrical connector somewhere that has just gotten corroded and needs cleaning and put some of that dielectric grease in it.
Any ideas?
