Hi R3V I was driving my e30 last night back from the socal meet and it drove fine until about 3/4 of a mile after I exit the freeway. I was just in 2nd (auto) and was doing about 50 when i felt suden loss of power. It did completely nothing even when I went 100% throttle with the kick down it felt like as if the car was off. I pulled over and let it roll in drive and all ot did was just bog and idle like crap. When j pressed the gas while rolling at about 5mph it bogged even more and turned on the MIL (CEL). i just had it rolling for about 7 minutes and it did climb a little uphill part at about 5mph and then all of a sudden power came back and it started to run fine until i messed with it again and put it to the floor. It felt as if i was out of has but i have 3/4 of 91 in the tank. I got home to do the stomp test and i got 1222.
I know that 1222 means cars either operating rich on lean. I am sure its lean because it feels as if i need fas but i have gas. It drove fine today morning to work.
The parts that can cause this are:
O2 sensor
Afm
Vaccum leak
Fuel filter (new)
Icv? (New)
Tps?
Temp switch (new)
Fuel pump
Sparkplugs (new)
Wires (new)
Cap and rotor?
Or faulty injectors?
My econometer doesnt work but I have measured and approximately I get about 8mpg city and 13mpg highway
Car has about 183xxx miles on i it and has never done this before.
Note: my friend borrowed my car and scraped the exhaust and there is a hole after the cat past the flanges. Car also has a new alternator battery and all fuses look fine.
I will do a smoke test today and keep you guys informed. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
