First off I've search and done about as much troubleshooting as I could in the last 24 hours due to work.
I was messing around with the car last week had the ecu in diagnostic mode to clear the check engine light. Drove off and car started freaking out. Realized what it was immediately cut the car off and returned the ecu to normal. Sunday driving home from out of town (drove there just fine) and car starts bogging down like I would press the gas and nothing would happen. Car wasnt trying to cut off or anything just lost power for a moment then back to normal.
Got the car home let it sit over night. Started up the next morning just fine and got me to work just fine. On the way home the issue started up again going about 40-60mph. Got home parked it and pulled the plugs out and checked the ecu for codes.
Troubleshooting so far:
Ecu code 55 (everything is normal code) but still throwing a cel
Plugs look fine but bought replacements anyway
Wires look ok (replacing anyway)
No smoking or odd colors
Next up I just have to test the injectors to make sure they are putting out the right reading. If all checks out I'm pretty much out of ideas unless the dizzy is bad but I kinda figure I would have issues starting also. I do have an exhaust leak but I've ran this car with much worse and didn't have this issue.
Parts on order: Plugs, Wires, Distributor cap and rotor button, 1 injector (in case one is bad), fuel pump and fuel filter.
