Where'd the lowend go?

94GTConv · 05-03-2002, 03:45 AM

Guys need a little help. Got a 94 GT and Lost a lot of my low end pressure and the car is running like crap. Check engine light came on and I'd rather not spend 80 bucks on a ScanTool.
I thought at first it would be a clogged cat or something, but since its true dual it can't. So what do you guys think it is? My next guess is O2 sensor that sound right?

LOL, these cars are a pain in the *** when something goes wrong, cause its a pain to track anything down, could really be anything from-plugs and wires-tfi module-timing-fuel filter-bad mass air sensor-i really dont know how to help you, if you are popping up a check engine light, you can do the scan yourself with a couple of jumper wires.

Damn you have a badass GT.
Thanks for the jumper cable idea, but I don't have a clue as how to check it with them.

How do you know you lost low end?, Or ANY end?, is this a "Butt Dyno Assumption Test" or is it your car is just running bad RESULTING in your loss of low end power, no flames here bud, i'm just a little confused as to what you want here, glad to help any way we can!

It's just the low end power. The high end seems alright (it was never that great in the first place, but no noticeable change). Thanks for any thoughts.

Find the data connector behind the passenger side front fender. Take the cover off. Take a jumper wire and do connect as follows:

Make sure the car is off. Connect the wire.

Get in the car and turn the car on (but don't start it).

Wait a few seconds. You should hear the fan rev up and then your check engine light will flash.

It will flash 2 sets of codes, one is the current problems, the other is problems in memory. The separator code is 1-1-1.

Either post your codes or buy a Haynes repair manual. It will give better instructions to connect, and give all the error codes.

Hope that helps.
