[b:21c4e1ee8f]1995 Ford Escort Sport LX 1.9L with 182,000 miles [/b:21c4e1ee8f]at first problems with the idle, acceleration, were the main issues. when it is at a complete stop, it idles rough, then dies. so, i check the filters, changed them. still happened. went and changed the fuel filter, still happened. [b:21c4e1ee8f]then one day, it stalled and did not start, so i go to change the pump, and found out about the inertia switch, i pressed it and it started up again, the problem was still there [/b:21c4e1ee8f]so i went and replaced the the fuel pump, still happened, i can hear the fuel pump now though, sometimes.
[b:21c4e1ee8f]i couldn't use my code scanner because the check engine light was not on[/b:21c4e1ee8f], plus it was not maintaining a correct idle, it came back with
---538 ----"insufficient rpm change during dynamic response test or invalid cylinder balance test - cylinder identification problems."
i ran a KOER self test, and i think it came back with
--- code 33 ---"EGR Valve position (evp) sensor or pressure feedback EGR (PFE) sensor indicates EGR valve is not opening or, not seated properly."
And now today, the car started to die, A LOT MORE than it ever has. when i was driving home, on interstate 880, it acted really funny, loosing power, when going at a steep incline in the road loosing a lot of power, sometimes seeming to drive a lot faster than normal, then to loose power while my foot was on the gas, [b:21c4e1ee8f]oh yea, my check engine light is now on.[/b:21c4e1ee8f]
now, i think i need to check my fuel pressure regulator? where is that?
my relay...where is that and how do i change it.
i drive auto parts for a living. i try not to ask the guys in the shop to who i deliver the parts to questions about the car, they seem to be to busy or to whatever to help, so i donated some money to get this answered ASAP, my job relies on it!
