When i am driving for any set distance after a little while the car starts shaking.. and the more i give it gas the more it does it. and its running REALLY rough.


its a 95 talon

14b
fmic
mbc (12PSI)

AWD

is ti a boggy type shake.... like the car is flooding out? if so check your plugs and plug wires.

Sounds like what mine was doing after my 6 bolt swap. After cruising at a constant speed it would all of a sudden get really bogged down. If I put it into neutral for a few seconds and back into gear it would be ok for a few seconds and go bad again.

Does it get like that if you constantly fluctuate the throttle or accelerate and decelerate? I unplugged the ECU and it went away for a couple months.

When mine does this my narrowband reads very lean, doesn't flash to green like usual.

+1 unplug the ecu for a bit and it will be all god for a while. I think DSMLink would fix this.

the guy i bought it from was running dsmlink

and when i bought it he just threw in a stock ecu.

with taxes coming up and me getting lucky at the casino ( 400$) =]

i think i will probily end up getting it.


but untill then. Ill unplug my ECU


slowboy thats EXACTLY what happens

but now its running like crap because i had to drive 20 miles on it

If it gets into the bogged state, go to neutral for a few seconds, put it back into gear and then fluctuate the throttle a lot and quickly. Mine would never get to the bad state if I was accelerating, so when I would go from 15-20% throttle all the time it would never get bogged down. It really sucks to drive like that, but I had to do it from Des Moines all the way up to Minneapolis because I didn't know what was happening. My right leg and foot got really sore.

But I unplugged the ECU and it was fine for 2 weeks. It happened again and it's been ok for two months now, but I'll see if the problem goes away permanently when my DSMlink gets here next week.

ok thanks.

how much would dsmlink and everything cost

[asshanson]

I have a 95 eprom ECU, so $30 to socket it plus I got used DSMlink for $410.

Did the guy put back in an eprom ECU from a 95 or did he use a later year ECU? Eprom ECU will cost another 200 probably if you don't have one.

[93TalonES_NWS]

i dont know what ecu got put in. i kinda got screwed

quite a few problems

[93TalonES_NWS]

ok i unhooked the battery for a hour.

someone said that would be the same as unplugging the ECU?

even so. Its runnign just as bad.

when its idling it sounds choppy. like the boggyness isnt going away

[93TalonES_NWS]

still running horrible. I might just bring it in to some engine shop and get charged ass loads of $$

[93TalonES_NWS]

when its running the exhaust sounds choppy.

any ideas?
