starving for fuel d15b7 please help.

- Fri Sep 23, 2011 4:38 pm #274009 hey guys. so ive narrowed my idleing/running problem down to fuel related. the pump kicks on and works but i think i may have ran the tank empty before i put some fresh gas in. i changed the fuel filter and plugs. but was wondering what else it could possibly be? the tps looks like its riveted on?! i dont know how to take it off since its not showing any bolt heads or nuts. the car has no power and bogs like crazy wont even back up my driveway and its not even steep. i just cleaned the throtle plate and the holes to the tps and iacv i believe thats what they go to. and it didnt really seem to help. it feels like a really bad dead spot. and have to give it alot of throttle for it to rev up after its bogged.

If not, did the car just start running bad one day or did it slowly get bad?

- Wed Sep 28, 2011 7:05 pm #275122 Did you check your injectors ? You can test each injector by taken off each clip 1 by 1 while idling and compare changes when each one is off . For instance if cyl #1 has no noticeable change compared to the others that injector should be replaced .

The intake mani is pretty simple to take off just take your time :thumb: there should be a write up on it somewhere on here .
