I don't know if this is in the right spot, if it isn't let me know and i'll post it elsewhere.
So here it is everybody. About 5 days ago my master cylinder decided to start taking a crap. I was going through a drive through and started slowing down and my brake pedal went to the floor. Cool. Bumped the person in front of me, a girl I go to school with, no damage, NBD. brakes worked after that but I was very cautious and downshifted as much as I could to slow myself down before applying the brakes. Got home from school and parked it in the garage where it has been since. About 2 days ago I decided since I was waiting for a new MC I would clean the ICV and get a new air filter/see what the AFM looked like to see if it would clean up my almost unnoticeable idle problem. Unplugged the AFM and the ICV and removed both. Cleaned them both up, and put in a new air filter. I put them both back in and plugged everything back in as it was, don't recall messing with anything else. Today I decided to start her up and see if my idle problem might be diminished and it's worse. It starts up and idles pretty well but when I touch the gas it bogs down and almost stalls. If I try to accelerate pretty quickly it does the same thing. Only under a slow, gradual acceleration will it operate normally until it gets higher in RPM's. when it hits about 2500-3500 it sounds like it misfires once or twice. The other thing is when I put it in gear and try to accelerate it drops to about 200 rpms and tries to stall. CEL is on too. I am completely at a loss for what might be wrong. ANY advice or help would be extremely appreciated. Car is a 91 325ix 5spd if it counts for anything.
Thanks a lot,
Drew
