Default Throttle Response Problems...

Gents,
She was running like a scalded dog and then suddenly began acting flakey. Before, you could stab the throttle at any RPM, even at idle and it would respond with no hesitation at all. Now, especially at Idle and just off-idle it stumbles really bad and then snaps your neck. It's almost like it doesn't see the throttle position or has a vacuum leak. I don't know, I replaced the plugs and wires, ran some Sea Foam in the fuel tank, checked the air filter and then finally pulled the DTC's. I'm all ears if anyone has an idea. I could only find codes for a 2000 on the Internet so what I have so far is based on that information.
Thoughts?
Thanks Much!

It looks like you had loss of communications with several of your modules(all history codes). I would try to reset the codes and see if they come back, they might not. Check your battery voltage as well, low voltage can cause weird things to happen. Check your alternator connection while your at it. And check your grounds too.

Good Luck,

I think that P1514 code is the relevent one. Here is the troubleshooting info. It sounds like an air leak somewhere.

GL!

Good suggestions!

I did find a good article about ground connection problems on the forum and sure enough mine were just about as bad so I cleaned them up and it made a world of difference. Then it began intermittently missing like mad. I mean it will miss really bad for a few and then clear up and run great. I pulled the codes and they're even different than what I had before.

P0174 Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 2

I'm going to check the connections to the Alternator like you recommended, then to the H2O sensors. I do know the H2O sensors that were behind the cats have been removed but I thought they were depleted in the tune. I'll have to check but I don't think this is related since it popped up so much later.

Thank you very much for your advice.
Take Care!

I'm assuming the leak can be anywhere but the error is noticed by the MAF? Is this correct? I'll look around but I'm not to sure where to begin. Thoughts?
Thanks Much!
