A little while back I was having issues with the car bucking hard while engine temp was still cold, but then running fine once the car got to operating temp. People here gave advice as to it being maybe a bad PIP and I did run codes and got back a 14.
PS the TFI was changed w/o the PIP. So I went and purchased a NAPA reman distributor with a new PIP in it, made the swap and I am still have the issue. In my original post some said it could be the ECT, now I am still getting a code 14, do most think I should go for the ECT next or could this be a bad PIP in the new dizzy, or something else?
2nd problem, which happened today... was driving and stopped at a light and noticed my oil pressure dropping, all the way to the bottom of the red. I pulled over, checked for an oil leak and checked oil level. Oil looked a tick low, so I added, but it didn't help the oil pressure level. I drove a block and noticed while on the gas my pressure came back to, at best, 1/2 way up the gauge, but as soon as I came off the gas the pressure dropped to zero.
I drove it home, it ran fine, no check engine light, but the same results... mid pressure reading under acceleration and under steady speed it was in the red "L" and whenever stopped it was at the very bottom of the gauge.
Ran codes as soon as I got home... of course KOEO got the 14 plus got 22 and 42 all on CM. Then KOER got 17, 25, 77. It actually stalled during the 1st KOER test, probably something to do with the 17.
Any guidance/help would be most appreciated.
Thanks
