Im going nuts!!! my car (1990 5.7 tpi)has been running like crap and ive been trying to fix it for the past two weeks! two weeks ago i turned it on and it sounded ok but when i put it in drive(with my foot on the brake) it started idling back and forth between 500-1200rpms and when i let off the brake it wouldnt go faster than 5mph and you could hear knocking and backfiring. So i checked the timing then i checked the codes and got a code 13 so i replaced the oxygen sensor ,throttle position sensor, idle air control motor, and gave the throttle body a good cleaning! it still runs like crap! i could drive it around but as soon as i go over 3000rpms it starts knocking backfiring hesitating like crazy!(one thing i noticed is that the throttle blades dont open when i step on the gas pedal with the car in park. they are suppose to open right?) i dont know what the hell to do!! someone help!!:confused:
