| Problems: | Got a 1999 Grand Chariot, 1999cc. After parking for a couple of months, car starts ok, and idles ok, but wont rev up at all! Instead, it struggles like its choking on air, and returns to "normal" idle as soon as I lift my foot of the gas. To eliminate,I started by disconnecting airflow meter/sensor by the air inlet, leaving the gaping pipe sucking air freely...choking it manually now & then like one diagnosing a carb.....and bravo, it spins freely, with lots of power but questionable fuel consumption and nearly redlines! when I disconnect the terminal to the airflow meter/senosr, it also revs freely, of course, with the occasional hesitation caused prbably by too much or too little air. I suspect the air metering mechanism, but am not sure. Before this, I thought it was the fuel pump, but obviously not. When problem manifests, I also get lots of smoke fromthe exhaust! Have not connected to anyh computyer, and dont want to replace a part that's not faulty!! Please heeeeeelp@ :( |

| If the vehicle is starting and iddles normally the engine check light has to be showing on the dash board,use to diagnise the vehicle but first remove the EFI 15A fuse for 3min and then insert it in to erase the previous codes. THANKS!!! |
