could the coil pack for 1,6 be weak? it passed all the ohmmeter test in the tsrm.
could the other cylinders be running lean? leak at intake manifold on those cylinders?
I've just thrown a code 71, egr temp. I'll have to do the test to see if my egr valve is functioning properly. I read that
A leaky EGR valve can act like a vacuum leak and cause a lean misfire at idle.
they are 'traditional' replacement plugs - BCPR6ES
they have about 1500 miles after a rebuild. i am still taking it back and forth to the shop to hunt down oil usage. I go through a quart to quart and half a week
Some of the usage is a leak, as there are two spots on the ground in the mornings.
i get black smoke on acceleration, and tail pipe is coated black carbon.
data log shows engine is running lean at idle, ecu is having to add max fuel, VF=5
Driving...hard of course
thanks for your input
