88is woes

[CR325IS]

I'm going to start off by saying what I have done and what I can't figure out. Ok I have replaced o2 sensor, new air filter, bav auto fpr, new coolant sensor, cleaned and checked ivc, checked boot to maf(new),newer thermostat, timing belt water pump, ignition wires,


The problems:

I think im leaking oil from my rear main seal can't find exact spot yet, I'm leaking auto trans fluid but am going to swap so I don't really care about it too bad, I have a little bit of a rough idle when first starting but then it evens out, when I fill my car full and top it off, some fuel spills from the housing under my car idk if there is a seal that has broken or what but it will smell like bass until I drive I past 3/4, I get a damn check engine light on when I idle( I ran my codes and found 0a which is emission control lambda) I can't get rid of that shit. Also when I accelerate it feels like the fuel or power cuts on and off and laggs noticeably.


I don't know what I should do or what parts new I need. ( something to freshly it up)I plan on looking for the oil leak when I swap trans but the other problems make me not even Want to drive it. I need some help/ advice. Car has about 150k on it and I just recently changed the oil

All help is appreciated.

Take out the back seat bottom and remove the oval cap. See if your fuel lines are leaking from your fuel pump assembly. Also check your filler tube.

Hmm.. My pump isn't noisy or anything. How do you know if you need new injectors?

if you're down on power or 1 or more cylinders are not firing and you have spark.

I used some lucas in my transmission and fuel tank and it seemed to fix both problems.

when im idling im still throwing a code for emissions every once in a while. What should I check to get rid of that shit?

That fault is probably from an intake leak, since you have a new O2 sensor. Have a smoke test run on the intake and fix the leaks it turns up.

I had the same lagging/lack of power. Replaced O2, CPS, temp, fuel filter, and air filter and was ready to start checking fuel system. Someone recommended checking dist. cap & rotor. They were really pitted and worn. Replaced them and it runs like a champ. Zero hesitation, no bogging down at 2000 RPM anymore. Worth a look, and a lot less messy that the fuel system.

Hmm I don't think mine are more than 10k miles old. But I lose fucking oil when I drive the car highway speed and don't know where to fix this leak. Also today I was driving back from Illinois and my car randomly lossed power and all the lights came on on the dash I pulled over and my car started right up again. Then I got back on the interstate and it jerked hard at like 80 mph or like a split second(scared the shit out of me) then continued the rest of the trip no problems besides the damn check engine light will come on after about a minute of idling! Need help and suggestions. Thanks community!

This is kind of obvious but how are your plugs?
