Hello all!!! This is my first post so I will try to make it a good one.
First I want to say that there is TONS of information in this forum! Thanks to all, for your information (posts) have helped greatly. But, unfortunately not enough yet...
My fiance's car is a 95 Mistake, 2.5,I own an Acura TL (bone stock) if I was gonna mod a car for speed it wouldn't be anything less than an 8cyl. I digressed.
The first problem: It would stall out occaisionally after it was warm. Sometimes after 6 hours of driving and sometimes after it was sitting for a couple hours and it would happen 30 minutes after you start driving it again.
Mechanic recommended changing the UIM/LIM gaskets. So I read the how-to on the forum here and did it. I'm not sure about one of the injectors, it wasn't seated all the way down like the others in the fuel rail. Anyway, replaced the gaskets for the fuel rail to LIM (I had to drive almost 100 miles away to get this part, NOBODY had it) with all the other in recommendation after tons of B12 and lots of white smoke...
Second problem now (not sure if the first is fixed): It runs rough now from cold start on and gradually gets worse to the point where I have to keep the RPM's up above 3k to accelerate without much hesitation (its still there just not as pronounced). It almost feels like a misfire but no engine codes indicating that. The only engine codes I got before and after the UIM/LIM gasket replacement were (ODBI 136 and 176).
I am almost lost for things to do to it. I'm in the process now of changing the spark plugs, just for $hits and giggles. Wires, plugs, fuel filter were changed approx. 2 years ago. I cleaned the IAC out thoroughly with the B12 and 2+2. Let me just say that there was so much black crap coming out of all of that stuff that I couldn't believe it. Only 71000 miles on her 95.
Ladies and Gents, I do have to apologize for the long post but I wanted to make sure I got most of the pertinent information across to you, so I would get good feedback.
I appreciate all your help!
-Dan
