I wasn't planning on joining a forum to try and sort out the issues with my X, but I've been battling it long enough. First issue was a terrible misfire (P0304+P0325) once it was warm. I did, in this order:
Plugs, cleaned MAF, resistor'd the knock sensor (throwing the code), replaced the distributor. The problem ended up being the #4 plug wire. Replaced those.
After I replaced the distributor, I noticed no change from the old unit, still misfiring (after I took the old one out, I saw the Remanufactured sticker- it had been replaced before.)
The next day it wouldn't rev past 2200RPM. Pulled off the road, joined battery terminals for a minute (as per another thread's suggestion), it revved fine afterwards.
Replaced the plug wires to figure out the original misfire, and it ran great all that day.
This morning I went to drive it- same issue, won't rev up past 2500 or so. It's not a nice sort of ECU cut-off limit either, it's an erratic shaking, popping through the intake sort of cutoff.
Kept on driving it, and this "limiter" slowly raised itself until I got to my destination (15km) where there was only a slight miss at WOT.
Short of my new distributor being faulty, I'm at a total loss of where to look, its not giving me any codes, and for what it's worth the Torque app shows the MAF giving regular looking readings.
Thanks for any help,
Evan
