Afr going in the etreme both directions and everyonce inawhile popping back throught the trottle body...................................please help with a idea someone because im all out Member

Check all your ground straps. Mine acted crazy when I first put the engine back in and thats what my problem ended up being.

Re: Im lost
run a scan to check out the o2 sensor, sometimes they don't survive engine work. Map vacuum line. maybe???
O2 and map are some of the few things that get used closed loop not open.

Re: Im lost
