Re: engine trouble; what is wrong with my car? 200 1990

Whatever is wrong is still there or you may have a couple of problems.

You need to troubleshoot and see that all the signals to/from the engine are proper. Not responding to the gas could be throttle position related.

You may have a flaky rpm sensor giving the engine a intermittent signal.

Try using the test mode of the diagnostics. If you don't have a Bentley

manual for your car it would be a good idea to purchase one. You may also

have a vacuum leak. That is a fairly common problem. Check all the vacuum

hoses that are attached to the intake manifold and spray throttle body

cleaner around the manifold gasket and injector seals. Figuring this

out may take some time because you need to check to see if its fuel

related or injection or ignition.
