Hello everyone,
I'm hoping someone will share an idea with me about what is wrong with my car. I have a 94 SC with 69,000 miles everything was original at the beginning of my mystery. I garage it in the winter, driving around the block once in awhile when it's nice out. One time while backing it into the garage on a routine "around the block" run the car went from running perfect to stumbling to stalling never to start again. Now ,months later, the car will almost start (it's so close). Here's what I've done so far: New correctly gapped plugs, wires, fuel filter (air is a K&N panel), DIS module, cam and crank sensor, coolant temp sensor, fuel pressure regulator, and I tried a used coil pack and MAF unit off of a stated working car.
The engine will go from turning normal to almost running as the starter is turning it to turning very slow (like a timing issue). These events happen very sporatically. The EEC code only reads The "air charge temp. being out of range. Fuel pressure is consistently @ 38psi in the rail. I've soaked the plugs numerous times while trying to start the engine pulling, cleaning, and drying them with each event. In fear I might of washed out cylinders I did compression checks that revealed 5/6 cylinders reading about 130 and one cylinder reading 95. I've tried everything I could think of even some things that were "grasping at straws". I'm going to drain the gas and start with fresh gas..again "grasping at straws" I don't know what else to do. This car has always run PERFECT!!
Can anybody tell me whats wrong with this car ???? I'm just stumped at this point.
Thanks,
Fred

****PS: I pumped some gas into a glass jar, It looked and smelled normal with no water seperation,( this happens to be the exact gas I stored my 88 Bird with no problems) therefore I don't think it's a gas problem.
