I think the best approach might be to A/B as many components as possible from a similar NA side-by-side. Go grab JJ's car and park it next to yours, then start swapping easy-to-remove components.

^Yep, probably a good plan...all the 1.6's will be at the Pro Solo this coming weekend.
They aren't fancy. Still OEM's that were supposedly rebuilt and flow-matched.Quote:

Looks like the expression JJ makes at a pie shop.

Seriously how many electrical items & sensor could be in that fossil? ;-)
- Coil Pack
- Spark Plugs Wires
- Spark Plugs
- CAS
- Temp Sensors
- 02 Sensor
- Fuel Pump
- Injectors
What else??
wiring connections.
A rebuilt flow matched injector cost me a motor when it got stuck partially open.Quote:

Doubtful but here is an easy way to check if its firing without having to tear the car apart. Keep in mind it may fire but still have an issue.Quote:

If you can't find your injectors, I can scare up a set from one of my 1.6 motors.
^Thanks Mike.
On a lark did you check the accordian hose btw th afm & throttle body for cracks?
That will make a 1.6 run all kinds of terrible. I also have coils, sensors, injectors & ecus in my spares collection if you wnt to borrow.
I also have a known-good accordion elbow. That will definitely give the symptoms described.
^I did replace that accordion piece last year, but didn't check it lately...but I will now. Thanks Steve, I may take you up on your spares for testing.
I had a intake hose crack last month that was only 2 years old. I dont think neff could hit something under the hood but you never know.
Has fuel filter been mentioned? Too lazy to look.
I'm too lazy to answer.Quote:
