It's a stock 1998 m44, 5 speed, with stock ASC, 150k miles.
The CEL has been on for awhile, and now it's rapid flashing like a strobe light, without any pattern.
There is no flickering dashboard backlight at all, since the voltage is good.
Whenever it (strobing CEL ) happens, the engine would sneeze, sputter and cutting out, and wants to die, all that occurs
below 3500 rpm.
But, when it's above 3500 rpm, it runs good (CEL stays solid on).
Idle always
steady around 700 rpm,
meanwhile the engine always shakes significantly when idling.
Erase and reset CEL many times, but same multiple codes ( random misfire, etc) come back after 5 miles of driving.
Parts replaced with stock OEM:
- All intake rubber boots or ducts, all vacuum hoses
- All Injectors Hoses (tree shape)
- All O2 sensors (before & after Cat)
- Coil
- Spark Plugs
- Spark Plugs wires set
- Shut off Valve ( mushroom shape, infront of the engine)
- PCV or CCV valve, and the hose
- Secondary Air Pump
- All ground wires are clean and tight.
- Etc.
WTH is happening here?
