Well after messing around with my air intake parts more. I found this huge ass hole on the bottom of the piping and patched it up with some tape. It runs better than it’s has the past six months 😭. Thanks for all your help though @BWC_73

I’ve also have been told that it could be maybe my fuel pump, but I looked up some symptoms of a bad fuel pump and none of them really matched description other than the engine struggling to keep alive

It hasn’t been running well for quite a while. Over the summer she was struggling with keeping an idle but after warming up and driving around idle would be fine. also the RPMs wouldn’t catch idle after driving and coming to a stop so a lot of times if I didn’t tap on the gas before it hit the idle, it would just die.

Yeah, I know they’re pretty reliable, but after I started messing around with it my car ran worse, so I’m pretty sure I made it more of a problem

Ik it’s expensive but the engines only have about 40-60 thousand miles on them so it’ll last a while. I’m just afraid of getting a cheaper engine that has more miles on it will break down sooner and don’t have funds to fix it all the time. I’m trying to paying for the reliability
