Germany needs help with code 43

Hey all,

this wouldnīt be easy for me to translate all from German to English.
A friend of mine bougt a ī91 er Trans Am, 5,0L TPI.
He bougt it cheap and will make some money with.
When i got the car to repair it, the engine didnīt run a bit.
Ignition was wrong and the fuse "INJ 1" was burned.
No i got the car running not all to bad but its stuttering when i go WOT from idle.....itīs only from 900-2000 rpm when i pull fast the throttle body.
From 2000-5000rpm it runs fine. I have throuble code 43 and a BLM at 150-160, smells unburned gas like ****.
So, what have the mechanics done before me:
- New Tank and Fuel pump (Fuelpressure i got 30PSI)
- New Injectors (read all 16,7 Ohm)
- New distributor (Set to 6 deg with connecter unhooked)
- New Spark Wires and Plugs
- ECM is a replacement 16198262 ARZU
- Knock Sensor seems to be new also (sometimes i have 230 Knock Counts, sometimes only 1or 2) Knock retard seems to work in TunerPro RT.
- TPS is set to 0,57V.
-Canīt find a vacuum leak

Donīt now what else if done right now......please lets do some brainstorming wanīt to get rid from this car :-)

Best regards from Germany

Danny

As the knock sensor is cheap, just replace it.
Great possibility to change the coolant as well, as the knocksensor is the drainplug too.
www.rockauto.com for the sensor.
Viel spass...!!
