i have spent the last month fighting with my engine.
symptoms:
running so rich i would flood the engine when i turned the car off.
loss of power when accelerating hard
very uneven and irratic idle
poor warm starts
i replaced, the VAF, some fo the vaccum hoses, FPR, i built an eninge grounding kit(thank you Gro), and i replaced "A" ECT sensor
well the probelm kept persisting and i kept pulling a #9 engine code (check engine coolant temperature sensor). i was screaming and pissed off because i had replaced that.
Long story short there are 2 coolant temperature sensors. i had replaced the wrong one. the grey on with one wire is for the gauge on the dash, the green one is for the ECU. i replaced the grey one and nothing happened except my gauge on my dash became a little more accurate.
moral of the story RTFM
