My wife went out to the T-Type this morning to go to work and the car wouldn't start. She made several attempts and the engine would crank easily, catch for a moment and then stall. She gave up and took her Monte today. The weather was cool (40's) and damp this morning, but we've started the car in worse conditions without issue.
A few moments ago I attempted to start the car. It would crank for a few seconds, run very roughly, and then immediately stall. After numerous attempts, I was able to get the car to stay running by gently opening and closing the throttle. The car's rough idle smoothed somewhat as the temp came up but the engine continued to chug to some degree.
Nothing appears amiss on the Scanmaster. Disconnecting the MAF connector had no impact on the engine's behavior. I let the car idle at temperature for a while, hoping to set a code but none appeared. I did notice a miss when I raised the engine speed above 2000 RPM, as if the car was hitting a rev limiter. This occurred when the MAF was both connected or disconnected.
The coil pack, ignition module, and ignition wires were recently replaced in my on-going attempt to locate a popping/backfiring problem that occurs under boost. O2's seem normal, with good cross counts.
I really need to get this issue resolved. What should I look at next?
