stink
+1y
Cold start it (fast) idles fine. As soon as it warms up the idle drops to just below 800 rpm and then starts to sound like it is missing. The exhaust really stinks. Popping on decel after I rev it above 3000rpm. Definitely rich. It seems to be using much more gas than normal (usually 12-13L= 100km, now it takes over 17L). I have done the following:
Replaced rotor, cap, and ignition wires.
Tried a different mass air flow sensor, idle control unit.
Sent out injectors and fuel rail to be cleaned and tested (totally fine).
I had a local electronics guy repair my ecu (he was not able to put it in a vehicle and test it). He was not as thorough as AVPRO. This has me wondering.
The computer presents code 26 when I pull codes. 26 is the emissions solenoid (also called a 3-way valve) I replaced it. No difference. I am not sure if it is using antifreeze.
Checked O2 sensor and it is fine.
Truck drives fine otherwise, no lack of power under load.
I'm getting pretty frustrated, any suggestions? Cheers, S.
I had the head off, pressure tested and valves reseated about 25,000 (km) ago.
