So parked my car at a friends shop and let him go over a few things to make sure the car was ready to sell. Picked it up (after he changed coolant temp sensor and plugs ) all i know that was done to it. Now it runs supppper rich at idle(9.8 afr) blowing out black smoke popping and misfiring wont hold a steady idle and bucks when you drive. Ive checked cleaned and re gapped the plugs to .30 checked for broken coilpacks for cracks, checked compression and its perfect across the board 138-140. anyone have any ideas on what to check and test i need to get this thing running perfect again before i sell it!

So eliminates that as a cause.
A few things to eliminate as a cause -
Check for loose intake hose clamps on intake piping over top of engine (would have to be removed to get at spark plugs).
The other could be someone hit the TPS plug accidentally when working on that part of engine (wiggle TPS plug while engine is idling and see if engine stumbles or stalls) and check TPS adjustment, as bucking, hesitating (engine suddenly running lean) while accelerating can be caused by faulty or misadjusted TPS.
Also sparkplugs are meant to be gapped to 0.8mm. At 0.3mm you might have damaged sparkplug tips which if caused missing, ECU probably would pick it up as knock via knock sensors and switch to knock maps. Can fit NGK copper sparkplugs and gap to 0.8mm (replace every 10,000km).Last edited by Skym; 12-16-2012, 11:35 PM.RESPONSE MONSTER
