Hello to the group, I am new to the forum and new to Portland, OR.

I have an issue w/wagon. Has been running great but recently an issue when accelerating. Starts and idles, a bit rough then smooths. If you stab the pedal it may rev or go flat like no fuel. I hear both pumps and removing the hose from the FPR causes a slight increase in rpm. Driving the car there are moments that she seems to be OK, but short lived.

Code is 2-3-2 and 1-2-1 in socket #2.

She has 245k and runs great most of the time. Any suggestions? or am I too broad in describing symptoms?
Know a good repair shop in SE Portland? HELP!

 

232 is O2 sensor range. 121 is the air mass meter. While the car is idling, disconnect the AMM and see if the car runs worse. If it does, it's most likely ok. The O2 can be checked for proper voltage w/ a digital volt meter. You'll need a manual to get the proper voltages. Cleaning the throttle body can do wonders. The motor dumps crankcase ivapor nto the TB and can foul it pretty well.

 

Thanks for the suggestions. I am off to check the 02 sensor. It did run worse with the air mass disconnected. I'll post results.
Hear it's a tad warm in Big D.

Meh...107 in the shop with the doors open and huge fans everywhere! We're thinking of charging admission and calling it a spa.

 

Replaced O2 sensor but no success. Starts right up and has rough idle and then smooths out. Throttle response was good off idle in park.
Driving not so good if you slowly accelerate cars responds but slowly. If you press padel 1/2 way, it's as though the key was turned off. back off to idle, car continues to run, just not responsive. Any ideas I might pursue?
Thanks, BP

I made an appointment with Alamo repair. Nice guys and very knowledgeable.
They replaced the AMM, ouch, and I had replaced the O2 sensor with Bosch after trying a cheaper unit. The car runs great.
Thanks for your support, until next time...
