I posted a note a couple of weeks ago about this. The '89 Syncro idles great, runs when cold. When the engine warms up it stalls out when you put your foot on the gas. Also stalls when stopped at stop sign. We swapped out the air flow meter, no difference. We swapped the ECU, no diff. We unplugged the O2 sensor, no difference. We didn't pull the injectors because the rumor we heard is the seals may need to be replaced. Does anyone have any experience with this? The stalling, missing, lurching is getting worse. The vehicle has only been driven to try to resolve the problem. We're worried about getting too far from home. We've put injector cleaner in, but haven't driven the vehicle enough to see if it's effective. One repairman we spoke with mentioned something about a modification on the wiring harness for the air flow meter? Tom Kirk '89 Syncro |
