steve6 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 just looking for best suggestions on this, fuel pump/pressure ruled out and fuel filter changed.. 1995 deville, 4.9 and no ODB II codes, can you get more detailed info through the dash controls? Starts up and seems fine, once you start driving it, rough idle, chugs until fully warm.. not sure where to start. I don't know these engines, just wondering if anyone who has one has seen similiar issue, or best place to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depress WARMER and OFF simultaneously for a few seconds until codes show up on the driver info center. Write them down and post here. Turn ignition OFF. Most likely dirty throttle body and EGR passages, but can be many other things too. The saddest thing in life is wasted talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodybyFisher Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Sounds like an open loop problem before the engine gets warmed up. You say NO CODES, good that you changed the fuel filter. Do you have black exhaust when this is happening? Do you smell fuel? In open loop before the O2 sensors take over, the engine is designed to run rich, like in the old days when the CHOKE was on till it warmed up. Whatever is happening is slight because the O2 sensors are able to stabilize the engine once its warmed up, so its not outside their range of affect It sounds like she is either starving for fuel or running very rich till it warms up, that is why I asked about the exhaust color. How is the air filter? Have you replaced these items recently (ISC motor, TPS)? Have you checked for vacuum leaks? Have you cleaned your EGR valve? Have you checked your FPR for fuel at the vacuum nipple (not likely the problem but check it anyway). What kind of spark plugs are you using, are they the correct heat range? When did this start?

steve6 Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 not sure the old man wrote these all down right, car history is a little unknown, but passed etest with flying colors.... p012 history p023 history p030 history 1027 history 1039 current 1052 history no ACP codes no SIR codes T061 current PCM ? if the issue continues, i think ill tell him to check the egr and throttle body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safari2000 Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 I think you will find that it is the MAT sensor or the coolant temp. sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve6 Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Just a small update, still happening, my dad took it in to have it looked at, they diagnosed it as 'computer', paid about $300 to have it replaced. Still doing it.. wouldn't start last weekend for him, he hasn't tried starting it since. I looked it over, I think EVERY sensor on the engine has been changed... I've never seen so many new parts before... but still has issues until warm. It runs SUPER rich until warm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinW Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I would start by studying all the ECM Data parameter values (post them here?). All temperature readings should be close to ambient after the car has been parked overnight. Once the system enters closed-loop operation, pay particular attention to the B/L (Block Learn) and Int (Integrator) values to see how the ECM is adjusting the fueling in response to oxygen sensor voltages. ___________________________________________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor Pump Circuit Fault I will have him check them again, he had taken it to a mechanic for the last two months to see if they could fix it, they couldn't figure out what is wrong, he has the car back now.

the gold2 Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Dude get your money back on the computer replacement. Obviously that was not the cause of your problem. however, make sure the eprom (memcal) inside the computer is installed correctly and locked in place. That being loose can cause probs. hope they gave you your old computer back... thre is a while befor all planets align up to warm up where the "stoiciometrics" of the fuel management gets into line. My car sometimes is a bit rough until it gets warm. The service manual attests to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
