Bob,

What code or codes are you getting? By washing out, do you mean its flooding? Please explain.

Let me know the codes and exactly what is happening so I can better help you. Also, if you have a live data scan tool, let me know what the short-term fuel trims are and what the coolant temperature sensor indicates when cold.

Take care,

Joe

Hi,

Do you have an exhaust leak on one side of the engine (exhaust manifold) before the catalytic converter? That can cause a lean mixture on one side. See pic below for sensor locations.
