The car has issues picking up speed from a stop, going up hills I will loose anywhere from
5-20mph unless I make the tranny downshift, the car will rev up just fine if you hit the gas good enough, but when I'm cruising it doesn't want to go above 2grand without a healthy downshift.
Tests-
Vacuum- at idle it fluctuated +/- 1 at 17"hg
1000rpm-18-19
2500rpm-20-21
Snap throttle- down to zero and up to 25"hg then very gradually returns to 17"hg fluctuating +/-1
Compression
1- 203psi
2- 195psi
3-205psi
4-201psi
5-198psi
6- 201psi
Tried-inatke manifold gasket upper and lower
Spark plugs (gapped right on.040)
Wires
Air filter
Tried swapping coils
Cleaning throttle body (needed it)
Fuel trim reset (after replacing any of the above)
Cam sensor
Maf cleaned
The issue- no CEL, no missfire (idle, cruising, heavy load)
Idles smooth but when I come to a stop it goes from 750-800 to about 575-600 when I'm holding the brake in drive. Rpms jump (only when I'm cruising and I let off the gas) tranny shifts fine, exhaust note is irregular (sounds rough) car gets ok gas mileage if I don't make it downshift too much, getting on the onramp at the beginning it feels as I'f I have a complete hesitation and no acceleration until I tap the gas a little more then it continues as. Usual.
Helpful information- when I. Did the intake I. Noticed one Pushrod was. Stressed more so then the other 11 and it was very very very slightly bent, I don't know if this has anything to do with it tho since compression was good. I do also have a little more valve train noise as apossed to normal operation. Idle sounds a little weird to with a constant lope sound/feel (very little if any rpm change(25-50rpm)
