A funny thing happened to the Geo on the way to this forum...
So yesterday I decided it was time (well, actually it was quite overdue) to change the oil in my Geo. Looked underneath, there was some schmutz. So I did what I usually do...go up to the neighborhood coin-op car wash. Clean the car off, clean off the engine. Drove to the drying area, everything OK. Went to leave, the car starts bucking, and I can't get over 10mph. Limp home.
When I get home, I determine that the car will idle just fine. When I rev the engine, it goes up, down, up, down at about a one cycle per second rate. I put the timing light on the car, it shows that there is normal spark. I pull the air cleaner and look down the throttle body, I see the fuel injector working normally at idle, then cycling itself off and on at a 1 cps rate. Everything works fine when car first starts, then starts cycling at anything above idle after 10 sec. No trouble codes.
I clean out most of the electrical connections going to the injectors, no change.
Today, I tried again...it worked better, hasn't cleared up completely, but the car can be driven. I'm now thinking maybe some moisture in the TPS, or perhaps the TPS connector. Or it could be something else. Does this sound familiar to anybody?
