sup guys, i have been having some trouble with the old protege, its running like ass
ok so to start i put in a cold air intake, and everything went to hell, the car was falling on its face, like spuddering, and not making too good of power, so i tore it apart and re-installed it, just to make sure it was right, and checked for leaks.
then i took off the mass air flow censor, made a seal and put it back on, pressure tested it, with no leaks. took it out again for a drive, same ****. also running real rich.
so i figure, maybe im pulling in too much air, because i live in maine, and its balls cold, so maybe, just maybe its getting wayyyyy too much cold air, i take it apart again, and convert it to short ram, it helps some, but not much.
so i start to pull **** apart, and check stuff, i went out and bought a new mass air flow censor, cause i thought it might be that, no luck,
so then i go out and buy new plugs and wires, and throw them in, again nothing,
then i took the 02 censor out cleaned it off , and put it back in. nothing again.
now more on what its doing, it kinda lacks power upto 4k, as soon as it hits 4k it revs freely and fine, also the car runs real rich now. it threw a code and the code was p0103, maf or vaf circuit high input. im at a loss for what to do. also it kinda smells like sulfure, maybe thats from the rich condition, but i dunno.
please help, lol i have been trouble shooting this for like a week. and didnt want to post till i was out of ideas.
