What sounds should I be listening for?
I'm getting a passengerside rattling sound under the engine bay, on throttle - intensity increases, as more throttle is given. The cats were checked at Meineke - all OK, there. Other than that, the car isn't all there with power. I can get full boost, but the actual power isn't there to back it up. Possibly leaning out?
I'm getting an occasional check engine light on and off, while coasting on the highway. Cylinder balance test shows a weak #1 cylinder - injectors? Idle sputters a little, holding a VAC between 20-22, and 750-900 RPM engine speed.
What needs to be replaced to resolve crap?
This car ran great, until the last couple of weeks - now, it's just average. Motor has about 155K on it, even though it used to run like a sub-100K car. I know I can get it back there, when I get the right help.
I have the tools, I just need the info.
