WTF is going on with it. YOUR INPUT WILL HELP

I think you have a vac leak test your vacum first then if its is low(less than 14psi)look for a air leak by spraying water over the vac lines as well as the intake manifold , also look for missing vac lines ,or may be you have a broken vac line if you have been messing with the throttle body you might have to re set the throttle plates clearance , are your plugs brown or black ,you might be getting too much fuel as well,check for a loose screw on the fuel pressure reg under the white plastic cap,

seeing how you have an safc on it, you need to make sure that the thing is tuned properly. look at the lo and hi points and post what the lo is and what the hi is. if you are running 0% all down the line in low (for some odd reason) and you have your hi tuned however it is other than 0% and your correction and throttle points are off, then yeah, it will be bucking if there is not enough fuel or too much fuel. just post your lo and hi points and what your throttle point is set at.

just got done replacing the primarys didnt see any vac lines off some vac plugs dry rotted(replaced) cleaned up the grounds . stupid newbi Q. can i run anothe wire to the ground spot for the ecu that is under the intake and ground it from the batt.????
Blackrotary23 ...........im always changing the values
Low 1k= -2, 2K =0, 3.5K +1 ,4k +2 , 5k +3 , 6k +4 ,7k+4, 8k +4
High 1 =0 , 2 +1 , 3.5 +3 , 4+ 5 , 5 +6 , 6 +8 7&8 +9
throttle point low= 50 high=99 ..............
any suggestions to wtf im doing
after changing the injectors the car seemed to run little better still the hiccup WOT
AFR is very lean between 1k-2.5k thin slam to rich (with the power back) 3k- redline. during the load AFR is back and forth (rich to lean back to rich) WTF WTF WTF ..............

I think i know what your talking about is that by the throttle by firewall ?? and is the screw needed to be fully seated.

my suggestion is to disconnect the safcII and make sure that the tps wires are spliced back together after you take it off. see how it runs without the safc
#12
make sure your air flow meter clamps are tight, then I would test the fuel pressure under load if it has full pressure under WOT ,if not you have a pump issue, If however you have good pressure you either have a vac leak, or a electrical issue, ps did you check the injectors for flow or are they new ,you could also have a poor injector clip,I had one that when taken off looked perfect ,but when pushed on, one of the brass clips whould push back and the injector would not go on,I hate to say it but you will have to double check every thing you touched, been there......good luck and keep in touch
#14
a couple of things......check color codes on injector wires...confirm they are going to the proper injectors. it has happened that they have been accidentally mixed up. here is the schematic....12 volt supply to all is black/yellow.... and now...from the outside to the inside .........front secondary is light green/white......rear secondary is light green/red.....front primary is solid light green ..and the rear primary is light green/black. get the engine running and pour a 2 liter of water all around the intake and injectors and any place that could leak air...if the eng stumbles...there's your problem. hope you didn't drop anything down the intake and broke a apex seal ( compression check). check that you have your vacuum/boost sensor hooked up (right fender apron). and....as long as the computer has a 12 volt supply...a full time 12 volt supply for memory...a and ground ...power to coils and injectors ....the only ground it needs to run is from the computer to the engine (underneath the intake manifold).i hope you used new inj. o-rings and gaskets ...................................cal

Noticed my trailing coils arn not in spec when performing resistance check the both are around 1.6- 2 ohms fsm says .02 -1 ohms are these bad ?? air bypass solenoid valve , one wire broke off replacing. ...... poured water around intake ... engine did not stumble at all
#17
coils should be ok, repair the air bypass but leave it unplugged for now,next check what voltage the alternator is putting out, it should be (13.5 volts),next,check to see if all your spark plugs are firing,pull of one wire at a time off of the coils ( after removing them first, then replacing them loosely back on)when you do this use only one hand and do not touch the car with your body, as it stops you from getting a shock if the wire is removed(pulled out a short distance) you can tell if they are working by the spark being emitted from the wire to the coil , next try changing your spark plugs they can look good but may be shorting out deep down inside,or just have a burnt tip and wide gap,next you should try to establish a Idle speed that will run the engine,try adjusting your idle(top screw)upper manifold till it does, after that we will have you adjust the TPS sensor and the rich lean Idle mixture..............keep in touch.......................
