Exclamation Help Please! Hard to Start and Bad Engine Miss

Well if no one knows iv been having a problom with my car latly. I finly came down to it being timing. So iv been working with the timing for 3 days now trying to get it running good. Well today I had a brake thru with the car and got it running good. And I mean good like I got a 3rd gear chrp out of it, It was awsome. Well it ran good for about 30mins then sterted missing again and getting harder and harder to start. To now it wont start at all... What can this be???

Also the car useily has like 40psi of presure and now it only has 20psi? I was told that a bad ECT will do that but the ECU is not throwing that code.

82

you may have also advanced the timing to far, with the spout connector off did you time it ? and to what degree? fuel pump or fuel filter may be bad...

may be something due to the fuel pump connection or pump itself.

maybe you forgot to tighten the distributor bolt.

here is the breakdown of the codes:

22 - MAP sensor or BARO. sensor out of range
23 - TPS out of range (throttle position sensor)
81 - AIR diverter solenoid fault (air pump issues maybe)
82 - AIR diverter solenoid circuit fault

it sounds like you might need to adjust or replace your TP sensor, that may be much of the problem. have you done anything with your AIR pump? the 81 and 82 codes are not a big deal, maybe you elimintated the system. the MAP sensor and TP sensor are important though.

Oh, and that code 82 could also be the "integrated relay control module" but I dont know anything about that and I dont think its likely.

Ok so alittle while ago I made a joke that maybe the car ran out of gas. Well I was right, the car was out of gas. ( now please dont laugh). Ok so it is running but the idle is high and it smells very rich. So tomarrow I will put new plugs in and try to dizzy time it with a light.
