85 running rough, need some help please :(
My 85 seems to run fine until around 90 degrees celcius and then the **** falls out of it :cry ..still runs but seems to lack(lots)power(does not backfire).
If i pull over and let it cool for a bit it runs fine again untill it gets to around 90.
It does not set and codes. :confused:
Any help appreciated :D
PS: Does anyone know the ACdelco part numbers for an 85 tps and the coolant sensor?

At 90*C, the ECM does a self test for the ESC module (about the size of a flattened pack of cigarettes and by the blower motor housing on the passenger side).If it fails the self test, your car will run like a dead llama. Usually it sets a code 43, but code 43 can be disabled in the chip, so it might have been done before. If you need to know more about the self test, let me know. -Matt-
