code 45 and no idle
code 45 and no idle
help? so my 3.1 engine will not idle. to start you need to floor, but it runs smooth(ish) until the accelerator is let go. a slight touch will keep it at 1500rpm smooth. yesterday the car was simply a no show whatsoever, and it turned out there was a crack on the underside of the egr pipe. thats been replaced. the computer now shows a code 45 meaning im running rich. any ideas?
*using ohmeter, tps moves linearly through scale
*compression in every cyllinder 115psi
*each cyllinder has spark
*timing as close to 10dbtc as i can get at this time
*new gaskets headgasket on up including valve seals on intake valves
*fuel pressure regulator replaced recently when gasoline was found in vacuum lines and even flooding the air pump with gasoline. air pump disassembled and cleaned/dried. slight slight vacuum leak coming from air pump. no idea if this is normal or not.
i have maybe a small inkling the canister purge valve is broken, as air passes freely through. but the purge valve in my parts car does the same thing. is this normal? i was under the impression these valves are closed until actuated by ecm.
thanks for any help
