I finally got my tib fixed
turns out the whole fuel problem was because my Cat was clogged so we put a new one on...replaced the whole exaust pipe...its now silver in color and 2" diameter and it runs like new!!! its got all its torque back like it was when i first got it and it goes so fast now...i cant wait til the next dyno day so i can see if i gained my missing horsepower back!!!

Nice to hear you got your car running smooth again. Always sucks to have something going wrong and not being able to figure it out.

yeah it does suck...we knew it was fuel problem but didnt know exactly what! we replaced just about everything we could think of...fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, both o2 sensors and still nothing (granted all those parts were factory so they were 11 y/o anyways and needed replacing) and we had a feeling it was either a crushed fuel line, vacuum line or the CAT but cuz my car sits so low and we didnt have a lift we couldnt check those! but now its got a new CAT and all new 2" exhaust piping

i am going to buy it i think...i gotta get the codes fixed first its only throwing two the P1127 and than another one i cant remember cuz the paper is out in my car but its got something to do with running too rich and possibly cuz of the fuel problem it had it may have fouled out the upper O2 sensor and possibly the fuel injectors but we arent sure yet and we arent gonna start throwing money at it again...even tho thats the fun way (sarcasm) LOL!!
