So this saga started last fall - fired up car and it ran very rough - Thought I had an IMS issue - The death rattle.
Took car to buddies shop - We pulled the transmission to get to the IMS - noticed clutch and flywheel needed to be replaced - Ordered all 3 plus AOS and a new set of plugs and a RMS
Installed all above - went to fire up - would not start - flooded itself so we thought.
Cleaned up plugs - fired up and we let it idle for about 30 min - just to do checks make sure there was no leaks.
Went to pull out of garage and it would stall as soon as load was added to engine . If you kept the RPM above 800 or so it ran beautiful. Smooth no popping not hesitation. Took it for a road test - no codes no issues as long as the car's rpm were kept above 800.
While idleing in driveway CEL came on.
Checked codes - first one was CPS - Changed it out - no help
On the next start CEL came in again.
Was ICV code - Changed it out - no help
Took to shop - They state there is something wrong with flywheel - either flywheel issue it self or install issue.
Now pulling it apart to check to see what is wrong.
I have the old flywheel and will be checking for installation issue and flywheel issue.
