Ugh... the kid put Autolites in the car.
Autolite double platinum APP 3924.
Looks like I'll have to change those out for NGK's before I fire her up.As for possible injector problem, I did find a connector they may have been backed off a little bit due to previous owner not putting the C clips back on and this particular connector has a piece broke off it, suprise, suprise. I'll check the ohms of the injectors tomorrow. The one I did check was 12.2ohms. Does anyone make a spray you can squirt into connectors to clean out the corrosion? Some of the connectors are a pain to get good and clean with only a wire brush... :I recently changed a bad fuel injector and forgot to tighten one turbo pipe connector. The car ran fine. The leak was so large I could hear the boost escaping (sounded really cool).
:I would clean the throttle bodies. The Tech section has a procedure. Park the car nose down on a hill to do this, to keep carb cleaner from flooding the intake. I used a toothbrush. Don't let go of the tube on the carb cleaner can, or it will shoot-off into the plenum (I did that once).
:Check the TPS by unplugging it with the engine running and pluggin it back in. It is mounted on the diver's side throttle body. The idle should increase significantly when unplugged (2000 rpm). The plug was losing contact intermittently on mine. I cleaned all of the electrical connectors under the hood and packed them with dielectric grease after solving the TPS problem.
:Ohm the fuel injectors too. I just had a third one fail.
:$3k for a TT is a steal.
