Replaced plugs, rotor, cap, air, and fuel filter. I also tried replacing the Crankshaft Position Sensor, but took it back off because it wasn't the problem.
The car starts and usually dies unless I am inside keeping my foot in it. It idles like it has a monster camshaft in it. When cold it misfires like you wouldn't believe. It's borderline dangerous because it wont move under it's own power. When driving it wont go over 3k rpm when it's cold. That's feathering the throttle a ton. When it comes to an idle, same as before idles like it has a big cam. Whump whump, whump whump...etc.
When the car is warm, idles less crazy, but still bad. I can get the car to drive 55-60mph, but it's hesitant and doesn't feel 'right'. The check engine light will come on when cruising, but will go off once I come back down from cruising speed. My car wont flash codes so I can't do that. Also, once warm, it will sometimes run really good, almost like normal. I can floor it and it will go, grab second gear, and continue to climb, like it's ok.
Anytime when idling, I can rev the car and when it comes back to idle it about dies. My buddy and I also checked for air leaks and fixed one but it didn't do anything. I've read numerous threads where people have pretty much thrown parts at the car until it started working again. Anyone?
Please help, my backup vehicle, my truck got hit by a plow truck while parked and is in limp mode and undrivable. Thanks city of Mount Clemens. Dealing w/ the city is a blast. So now I'm driving my brother's backup vehicle which is not the greatest...
Here is a video from a cell phone, it's not the greatest, but hopefully it will help someone.
