Thanks folks
I did the super fuel system cleaner(emission reducer type!) and took it for a 80 mile drive..at high speed about 75 or 80 I also sprayed a can of throttle body cleaner in to the intake via the throttle body. This inturn cooled the engine down now at highway speeds and I notice the turbo spins up much faster and gets into the red now for a moment.. The knock sensor must has been limiting boost and I had major weak mixture and just could not get the revs up.. I did check the system for normal leak points,, there does not seem to be any hoses leaking and the EVAP can check valve is good... The Idle control valve is now acting up and the car will not return to idle quickly as it normally does.. I have only had the car for just over a month as my 86spg need first gear syncro..(yuck) I guess I will pull the Idle valve and clean it and measure the R value of the AMM.
I seem to be going in the correct direction... I have had luck using a Oxy Accy tourch to burn the carbon and deposits off the old 02 sensors which I will try and do before replacement... I read about the test connector... near the power steering fluid container,,, Can any one recommend a better way,, The Test connector or just tap the 02 wire via voltmeter... to check and adjust the system(AMM/02/ECU) via the AMM mixture pot...
I will also pull the plugs and go colder.. I would guess if I can get the coolant temp down.. This will be a big help... The mixture can be made only so rich with the stock system... I will recheck for vacuum leaks..
Thanks again for the info thus far! The car now runs much much better and somewhat cooler after the evenings run...
