Hi guys, maybe someone can help me or tell me if I'm nuts. My car, b20f d-jet had been running sorta ragged for a while, then one day it stoped working all together. It would not start. Everytime I turned the key on the spark plugs would be immediatly flooded. It took a while to figure out that a splice the po had made in the wiring harness leading to the head temp sensor had shorted to infinite resistance. I replaced the splice, car starts up, runs fine, maybe a *little* rough, but great overall. Power acceleration, its all there. I load up the car, get ready to head out of town for a wedding, drive to gas station. On the way to the gas satation the car is terrible, can hardly hold an idle even if given agas and held a three thousand; coughing, backfireing [i think that was what the sound was] stalling in traffic, no power.
I give up, rent a car. The next morning I [having returned to town]face the car again. I test it out first. It runs great! Nonetheless I decide to replace the fuel filter. After I do so the car runs terribly, thenm not all What could have happened? I tried starter fluid, nothing. plugs are dry, am getting spark, tried more starter fluid, checking injectors, all firing correctly giving equal ammount of fuel, plugs dry, did not touch the distributer [which anyway is recently rebuilt from bosch]. Its been three or four days now. The car has not started since. Could there be any rational reason for this behaviour?
thank you, at my witts end,
jesse
