WTF is wrong with my engine !

[KillaCam]

Ok I have a m20b27 85 235 e I just recently blew a fuse and I figured out it was a light that was the wrong voltage or something ( might have something to do withthe problem) But the issue withthe engine is between 2 and 3 rpms the engine seems to choke out. It would putter but when I floor it it would get up and go puting out more power than I have seen buring out. Then I switch gears to second then it does everything all over again. I once had a problem with the o2 sensor and replaced it with a junk yard find. It is also idling at 500 rpm and you can hear a weird inconsistancy in the engine. I haven't changed The plugs since I got the car. I think I mght have a vacume leak. If you might have any idea let me know and don't hate on any miss spelled words I am typing this on a iPhone.

Start here = fuel filter, spark plugs (Bosch Super), Change your rotor cap, clean your ICV and get back to us.

Ps I CAnt find any leaks from a vacume hose and the plugs are tigt and there is a wire loose and unpluged by the fire wall and but I couldn't find anyplace to pulg in in. It's been unpluged since I got it.

Well it could be my Icv I took it off cleaned it then put it back. But I think I am going to pick one up at the junkyard

Well I could if it wasn't dark out , raining, and the fact I'm about 20 miles from the car. But when it's brighter out and whenim home I'll jump on it.

I'm having your problems now and changed the rotted fuel lines and it still feels like shit!, I even got a backfire yesterday after the fuel lines were replaced, now I'm looking at a bad fuel pump!!! :(

You sure you connected the new lines right?

Yeap, it's tripping me out cause I can't find the reason why the car would do this :hitler:

How sure? ;) Swap the lines, just to rule it out.

Not going to that, only because I followed each line before I could cut the hoses and plug them immediately.

Got anything else?

right at the fuel rail.

back firing is a bad sign
its most of the time timing
when the exhaust valve is open and the engine is combusting
