Ok you may have seen a couple of threads about my ecu possibly being faulty so I'm just going to start from the begining with one thread hoping someone can help me.
Problem:
Engine has massively reduced power from 0 - ~3000 RPM, then kicks off as if it had normal power
Frequently jerks during the reduced power zone - this may be caused by a broken engine mount?
Newest problem:
Idle speed drops when coming to a complete stop and drops to ~500rpm and slowly returns to ~800rpm.
ECU has been suggested as faulty
TPS has been suggested as faulty
I've now been told it could be the distributor or leads missing - However there is no sensation of the engine missing - I know what this feels like and sounds like.
Can confirm:
Catalyic converter is clear
Exhaust has no blockages
Intake system seems clear of any blockages - air filter was cleaned thoughrougly (k&n)
Thoughts anyone?
Specs:
3.5L V6 1999 TH Manual Executive Sedan.
224000km
Update: 1/2/13 1.30pm
The loss of power hasn't occured at all today - possibly due to cooler weather even after the car fully warmed up - was using a different key but I doubt this makes a difference.
