yes pulled codes,
koeo-11 = all good
koer-94,44,33
cylinder balance test - 9/90= so all is good there

everything i looked at for these codes makes no diffrence,like i said ,i tried a whole diffrent plenum,with the egr,tps,iac,and nothin,no vac leaks,new 02's,full tune up,water pump,and timing chain is near new no deflection,i am lost,i've been fixin cars for the last 10 years and usually can find an answer or figure it out,it has a few buddies stumped as well,thought maybe a tune,but it aint got nuttin for mods,and no tune shops around here,she goes like a son of a bitch when i give er gas but just idles like **** and bad rich,with no economy at all,like a tank a week,you can almost see the fuel guage go down,compression test was 140 - 150, 50 on fuel pressure.

anything? lol
