You never asked.

Seriously though, I think everyone on a forum should be empowered to give a little nudge to someone when they create duplicate threads across the site.

Before anything else, I'd reclean the TB and I'd disconnect the battery for 30 minutes to reset the Adaptive Learning on the PCM. This often helps restore from a lot of granny/city driving settings. Also, after a reset, you may notice some rough engine operation the first few dozen miles.

Isn't this a duplicate of your post in the S197 main forum?

Nudge, push, trip, kick, whatever. I don't think there's a rule against it.

Cruisin might not be the "thread police" but..........


Please don't start multiple threads on the same thing. No need to clutter the board.

Threads merged.

I haven't had much time to check the spark plugs or the COP's. I will get to them by the the end of this weekend (I need a to get me a torque wrench!). I did check the fuel injectors to make sure they're all firing, which they are. I've also checked for vacuum leaks and have not found any so far.

I just bought a can of Seafoam, but I'm not sure how I feel about feeding it through the vacuum lines, so I'm going to pour it in the gas tank instead.

I will post an update once I pour Seafoam and check spark plugs/COP's

Regarding the SeaFoam, you'll need to ensure the ratio is appropriate and then run that mix until you're down to about 1/4 tank to get the most benefit. sometimes it takes a 2nd attempt if it's a stubborn, fuel system-related problem.
