Re: 2000 SSEi Drivability issues

I am now inclined to think its a drivetrain issue. The shake at idle is gone with new injectors. But at speed when maintaining constant i feel a jerking as if tranny is trying to down and up shift at the same time.
This evening i started hearing a creaking noise coming from the driver side front ...

Re: 2000 SSEi Drivability issues

explain this rocking pl.

Happy New Year!

It happens when maintaining constant speed and only after the car really warms up.

So if i drive it for 20 mins from cold start, i'd not experience it but ...

Re: 2000 SSEi Drivability issues

Update:

Put in a new FPR, now i have 50PSI key on. 48PSI engine running and goes up to 52PSI when throttle is applied
So i am ruling out fuel issue.
New MAF
New Coils
New ICM
New Spark Plugs and Leads
All of this is genuine GM parts or AC Delco.

Idle is solid when in Drive(waiting on red lights ...

Re: 2000 SSEi Drivability issues

Update:

I checked MAF readings again with the new MAF. Turns out it was a similar looking MAF but not for the SC engine. I got the right MAF and no more codes.

Fuel pressure is still low IMO. I still have a slight hesitation under load at highway speeds.

I am reading 38PSI with vacuum connected ...

Re: 2000 SSEi Drivability issues

O2 sensor is hooked up correctly.
Any tips on the fuel pressure reading? I have 38 PSI when in the on position or start.

I feel this is low. Should i look at replacing regulator first or fuel pump?

Re: 2000 SSEi Drivability issues

Checked with Torque APP:
Both O2s are running 0.0V when MAF is connected.

With No MAF 0.8 and 0.9V

I redid the vacuum harness using plastic vacuum lines and some tees and other connectors i had. No vacuum leaks in the car, smoke tested.

Fuel pressure is 38-40 PSI.

So what is the recommended ...

Re: 2000 SSEi Drivability issues

I will check the wiring to O2 sensor, making sure its not in touch with the leads.
Any tips on replacing the O2 sensor. Where are the connectors?

I will also order a new 3800 Vacuum Harness.

Thanks.

Based on your codes, I'd figure out which O2 sensor that is and replace it.

I'd also run some ...

Re: 2000 SSEi Drivability issues

I tested the coils; i bought one new and tried to switch it around. Nothing.
I decided that it was time for coils and ICM anyway and got Delphi coils and Delphi ICM. Replaced it and applied thermal paste. Still the same.
Still got that bucking when doing constant speed. Thought i may as well clean ...

Re: 2000 SSEi Drivability issues

Thanks for the input.

I will disconnect the MAF and test
Will also replace the coil. I have ordered one and will swap it around to see.

The shake bothers me less, i need to figure this miss first.
