The rain finaly stopped
I got the computer out took the cover off inspected it real good under a bright light. I see nothing wrong with it all looks good no damage or discoloration. I put it back in and changed the O2 sensor and the MAP sensor. I started it running crappy popping shaking it wont idle high than come down like it should. It starts and goes to 800rpm's trying to die I let it run a bit than shut it off tried to re-start it wouldn't I had to give it a little gas as it was trying to start than it would fire up. I let it warm up for 10 min it started clearing up running better. I took it for a test drive ran great up to 65mph started up the grade it started loosing power down to 35mph than popping again running like cap
My Ignition module on the Dist I pulled up on the wires at the connector it shut off. I notice as I move the wires the connector itself moves up and down its not tight. The snap clip on the connector is over the Module bump like it should. As soon as I got home I lifted the wires both times it killed the engine. How do you fix this issue could this be the popping as well? I still don't know why it wont idle high than come down on start up
