Rough idle

Joe, I went back and listened to my conversation with him I had today and he was saying the code is only for one bank not both but the fuel trim is reading both sides at +40 and should only read -5 to +5. Basically it is starving for fuel. Not sure if that helps with anything but they do know that but not why the fuel trim readings are +40.

Joe, my mechanics old boss the second guy I took it to actually put in a new O2 sensor just to make sure and the number's stayed the same and there are no new codes still just the one. That is why they are stumped as well. I will keep you updated as to what they say about the fuel injectors today. Thanks Joe I appreciate it.

Thank you,
Daniel

Joe, yea I wish you where here also. Because I have no clue what is going on all I know is I'm relaying your opinions and I'm being told they have checked everything I'm telling them to check. And yes I think I have a a exhaust leak because there is a strong exhaust smell that comes from the front of the car.

& also they where supposed to run some type of fuel injector cleaning method today and I never heard from them, So I dont know if they did it or it didn't help or show what is wrong

I would hope so! It hasn't been brought up, and honestly didn't even think to say something about the smell, and honestly didn't know that would cause a lean mixture, Do you think that could be the problem?

Wow, I would have never thought that could cause a o2 sensor to do that. I will definitely tell my mechanic to check it out asap. Thank you Joe. I will let you know what the findings are as soon as I hear something.

Joe, I don't think where going to figure this one out, They believe it has something to do with the timing because they can hear a ticking sound when the car first starts up and I'm not willing to pay to find out if it is or pay the cost to have that fixed. So to the scrap yard is where it will probably end up. I have a 1985 Camaro that needs a little work done and as for right now with the weather starting to break in Ohio it will be a cheaper route to get me back driving. Thank you for all your help and time I appreciate you, and wished we could have figured it out.

Joe they said the ticking does stop after a few minutes & they said there is a small leak in the manifold but there is no way to find out if the manifold is causing the problem with out fixing it and seeing if that works, & they believe its the timing causing the problem priced around $1,200/$1,800 to fix I'm just not prepared to let it become a money pit and keep THROWING $$$ at it to find the problem & its been over 3 weeks & over 5 Certified Mechanics who own reputable business with atleast 30+ years experience each and they can't guarantee what they think it is they want me to pay to "maybe " fix I'm very disappointed because other than this the Navigator is in great shape! As a Husband and father of 4 my priorities are to save $ there I can and just give up on it for now the Camaro only needs gas lines ran & shocks so I will probably just park the Lincoln till I have the cash to really invest into it. If they figure something out before I pick it up Monday ill let ya know but its not Looking like we will figure it out. Thanx again Joe I hope you enjoy your weekend.

Thank you!

Joe, I have a new problem but with my 1985 Chevrolet Camaro, are you able to help me with this car?

I just put a new 140 volt alternator in because I thought my old 80v or 100v was not enough power, While in drive and driving it read's +13/14 but while stopped at a light it dips down to red within twenty seconds that's with nothing on no lights or radio. With lights and at a light same problem. While in park with lights on stays around 13. So when driving at all stop light I have to put it in park and take my foot off the brake. Please any help would be appreciated I am down to only this car since we never figured out the Lincoln situation.

Joe good to hear from ya again, I am not sure how but I will try to figure out how to start a new post now.
