I am trying to get my car running for a long period of time, not just a minuet, tops. I tested it by means of Clarks Garage. I tested terminal 6 (ground) to terminal 9 (input voltage from DME) and got 9.7 DCVs, 10.5DCVs with unit unconnected. That test was good according to Clarks. I also tested terminal 7 (output voltage to DME) to terminal6 (ground) and got .2 (might have been .02, cant remember, but think it was .2) That also checks good with Clarks, says it should read 150 - 250mV, dont know what that is though. Pushed the door open w/ screwdriver, meter slowly rose to 8.2. I then tested terminal 22 (air temp. sesor) and terminal 6 (ground) on the male ends of the sensor and I got "OL" on my meter. Clarks says it should have read 1.45 - 3.3 k-ohms. Temp outside that day was about 80 or so.
If the temp sensor isnt reading anything, my car should still run, correct?, but not for a very long time. It idles at 950 give or take 50 RPMs, sputters most of the time like it wants to cut out, and eventually does. I smell gas while inside of the car, tank half full, and I dont smell it when car isnt/ hasnt been started. Water coming from tailpipe which smells like gas, and there was some white smoke before, but none today. Thanks guys.
P.S.- I have replaced ref./ speed sensors, and FPR and damper, new battery an alternater a few moths back. Dont really want to put more money into the car, and still not have it working. No oil in coolent, oil looks clean too. Thanks guys.

It's usually the little stuff that bites you. Even a messed up MAF will get you something, even if it pulses the revs up and down. Have you checked all the hoses? Those did me in in.

wanted to get her started, and spray started fluid around the vacumm hoses, but she didnt start that day. Today, she did run long enough, or it was too dark out to try it. Tommorow.
If I do need vacume lines, how long hose should I get, and what/ how many connectors would I need? Local parts store have them? Thanks

try a different AFM, your temp sensor might be out of wack which would affect how much fuel is being sent into the engine

+1 on the temp sensor or wiring..It can cause some very erratic behavior.
