Hello Everyone! I've got a problem with my 98 Cobra and was wondering if anybody could help.
My Cobra has a Vortech 8lbs. S-Trim, 36lbs. injectors, 255lph intank fuel pump, PRO-M 80mm mass air meter and other mods that I don't think are relative to my problem.
Now the problem...the car starts up fine and idles down to normal idle speed. I'll drive the car around for about ten minutes and then I'll notice a huge drop in power (if I let off the gas, the engine will cut off). So, I'll pull over and restart the car. The car will start up fine and drive forever without the engine cutting off unless I turn the engine off and let the car cool down for a long period of time. I will also feel violent hesititions (kind of like I was learning to drive a stick for the first time) on and off during my drive.
I used a friends Snap-On scanner and pulled the following code:
P1516 IMRC Input Error Bank 1
I thought that the 98 Cobras had the IMRC removed from factory but after reading a few postings here I have found that they weren't but replaced with a set of plastic IMRCs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...Ed :shrug:
