After sitting all that time it could just be an injector problem. I have read a few threads where the injectors were sticking and causing problems. dmcummins had a problem with his engine swap running rich and I believe he found it to be an injector problem. Oxygen sensor mainly works for idle. You can do a search and see what others have done to check the injectors.

You should consider getting the injectors professionally cleaned...
Just taking them out to clean them is not enough. They need to be run on a special machine to clean and check their function. Injectors are really little valves that open and close electronically. If the internal coils are bad the mechanic should be able to confirm this. Hope it works out OK.

I've had luck with stuck injectors by carefully tapping on them with a wood dowel and hammer. Not beat, tap. Worked on a car I had sitting for a year. That's not to say that a proper cleaning is not in order. Costs about $140 at Witchhunter or similar outfit.

If the engine is running you can determine if the injectors are stuck. Get a mechanic stephtoscope or a long screw driver. place the end of the stephtoscope or screw driver on top of each injector and listen for a buzzing sound. If they are buzzing they are fine, if they are not buzzing you just found your problem.
You could also have some other problems with the car such as vacuum leaks. Last edited by ruf-porsche; 02-15-2009 at 10:02 AM.. |
