10207, Check engine - problems
Posted by neovb, Dec-16-01 01:50 PM
Oh no the dreaded check engine light is on... I ordered the OBD-2 thing for my computer but that will take a while to come - in the meanwhile maybe you guys can help.

The car seems to be not pulling very well at all. Seemed to have lost lots of low end torque, but high end HP seems fine. Doesnt gain speed very well at all but it cruises well. Under the hood everything looks fine, I dont have any mods except for exhaust - so nothing was ever taken apart. I dont know how else to describe it... Nothing else seems wrong with the car except lots of torque loss. New plugs, new belts.... Timing off? 02 sensor? What do you guys think?

how is your idle? i had the same symptoms goin on, but my idle was tripping out too.. i had a bad o2 sensor, and it i was messing with everything.. wrong amounts of fuel being shot out, and eventually, my car didnt work.. was a pretty quick and cheap fix.
