Hey guys,
So my 96 v6 started misfiring the other day, so I ran it for codes and here's what I got.
P0300 Engine Misfire Detected
P0441 Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect Purge Flow
P1381 Misfire Detected - No Communication with Brake Control Module
P1651 Fan 1 Relay Control Circuit
P1652 Powertrain Induced Chassis Pitch Output Circuit
P1654 Cruise Control Inhibit Output Circuit
Did some searching and here's what I found may be the problem(s)
bad BCM?
bad PCM?
bad coil packs, wires, plugs, although I just changed everything relatively recently (plugs 3 months, wires 3 months, coil packs 3 years)
injectors?
egr?
Now here's what I know: I'm in need of a new o2 sensor (the one at the cat) hence is why I'm getting the P0146 code. I think I'm running rich, and can smell gasoline every once in a while. The car misses when idling, and idles rough, especially right after you start her up, and you can hear a small pinging under the hood (probably because its missing). After it warms up a little, it doesn't really miss until you give it a good amount of gas (not much just more than a "grandma acceleration"). Here's the weird part: When driving, the battery gauge likes to fluctuate very rapidly between half way and past max. Also, the abs light and low traction light likes to blink every so often, which I found is consistent with a pinging noise coming from the abs relay in the fuse box under the hood. Also, when pushing in the clutch, while driving, my speedometer needle will fall down to zero until I let the clutch go and then the needle will slowly rise back up to normal. All of this occurs most of the time, HOWEVER, sometimes it will start up, the battery gauge will be fine, the abs and traction lights won't come on, the speedometer needle won't fall, and the car doesn't miss I don't think (this doesn't happen too often). So, I don't know where to start. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks Guys
