Current issue...the miss in the motor. Since replacing the alternator, it hasn't thrown a code yet, but the miss is definately still there. I have put over 100 miles on it since. No miss when it's cold and not really at idol after it's warmed up. No loss of power. The miss is present at an idled speed. Mostly higher speeds. The other day she went about 30 miles on the freeway before I felt a single miss and that was after I exited the freeway and was slowing to stop at a light. At this point I'm gonna have the full detailed diagnostic run and go from there. I am pretty confident that it has to do with the intake. Of you have ever replaced the intake manifold, you understand. I have had the upper side of the motor torn down 4 timesfor this single repair! After she was finally fixed, she seemed to run great with the exception a rattle noise that sounds like a possible bent pulley or bearing. At first I wondered if it could have been the water pump, but that has been checked out and all good...I think. Never overheated it and never broke serpentine belt and I have kept up on maintenance. I am not the first owner, but she was only 4 years old when I bought her. I would be someone you would want tobuy a vehicle from! I won't even run my ride through a car wash!
I think it's time that I bite the bullet and let her go. One of my daughter's is 19 and just got her license. She us a non she's had a little over a year now as the lical taxidermists assistant. She really wants a highboy, but if I can get this beast dialed in, she will get it.
