jimbo747 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 1993 Loyale 1.8 SPFI / MT I recently replaced all the gaskets and seals in the engine, but am having a drivability problem. The car starts easily and idles smooth, but when I try to drive it, it "bucks-like a bronco" between 1200 - 2000 RPM. If I "lead-foot" it -- wind it out to about 2500 and slowly ease the clutch, it's ok. I have replaced the plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and coil. I have tried adjusting the timing between 20 degrees BTDC and 24 degrees BTDC. Additional clue -- I am getting an intermittant check engine light, with an ECU Code 51 -- neutral switch. Could this really be the cause? If so, where is this neutral switch located and where can I find a replacement? All I've seen from my local parts stores are for the automatic transaxels. Thanks!

GeneralDisorder Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 The neutral switch will not cause your problem. Start looking at your fuel system. Run a D-Check and see if you get any codes that way. You could have a bad TPS or maybe several things wrong. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
