im posting this for a really good buddy of mine i would help him but he lives in az and i moved to las vegas any help would be greatly appreciated. oh and i already told him not to use the srt injectors they will cause nothing but problems
hi all, i have a 98 dohc mtx and it threw codes 12, 31 and 43. im not worried about code 12.
the car will idle @ 1000 rpm and then drop to 500 rpms and back up tp 1000 rpms, sometimes it will just stall out at idle, i have to give it gas to keep the car from stalling out but when in gear or down shifting it does not turn off. i also have a bad exhaust leak that i am going to fix. it has a pacesetter header that is the cause of the leak. i will be swaping it out with a oem manifold and stock exhaust. there is also lack of power but was told it could be from the exhaust leak.
so far i have replaced the spark plugs, wires and coil pack, change the gas cap, reset the ecu from all codes and sea foamed the gas tank. today on my lunch break i looked to see if any of my vac line were disconected but saw none that were. i have yet to check the injectors. i have stock srt injectors i am thinking of trying to see if that would help but am undecided.
i have read what other people have done to fix the codes i threw but i still wanted to post my problems and see if i can get any new advice from you all.
please help.

This is the place to ask questions about your engine components like cams, valves, pistons… just anything that is generally "engine" specific. This also includes questions about exhaust systems such as exhaust manifolds, piping size, mufflers, ect...
