Default Re: Engine Ticking

Just tried that out- no change. I had the old connector zip tied, but this new Jerry's one is really tight. Checked the pressure regulator vacuum line, that was good. I also took a look at the inside of the grey ecm connector. I couldn't really tell if those were spread out too far. I haven't backprobbed them, but the previous owner might have. But then again, if it was that why would it act up now?

Seriously, with respect to the engine when I was fixing the first miss,the only changes I've made is new starter, new alternator, new coils, new wires, new purge vacuum lines, new passenger vacuum line to the plenum, ported intake, remove secondaries and new chip. Seems there shouldn't have been any issues after this.

Then as I had a rough idle after the fix, I've replaced pumps, filter, injectors as tests indicated these were questionable. I've also replaced the IAC and cleaned its bore, and TPS and O2s. I'm at a loss. My wife is really pushing me to drop the car off at the Oxnard Carmax.
