I borrowed a scanner, and hooked it up while driving the car. The only thing that I have found is that when the car begins to act up, it switches from Closed Loop to Open Loop. I put the car in neutral, and let it idle, it comes right back to Closed Loop, and the car drives normal for a bit. But, if I try to continue to drive the car, it stays in Open Loop, and continues to choke & misfire.
The car has new plugs & wires, a new catalytic converter, and the fuel pump was replaced a few months ago. I have been told that it may be the ECM. Is there a way that I can be more sure, before I start spend her money on a wild goose chase?
Thanks,
Matthew
