Update so I am getting closer to figuring this mess out. I have 2 codes now that show p1445 and p1447. I think this is why the car is running so rich. As has been covered in previous posts, I am going to start looking for vacuum leaks for the p1445 code I looked up the p1447 code in the fsm to see i...

the dimples on my cams are on the teeth. Weird place to put them if you ask me.
I fixed the timing based off of the Jwt pdf. I thought that the cam lobes were suppose to be level though. if you do it the way jwt suggests the cams face upward just a little.
I will take pictures when I get home.

I did find a blown fuse in the fuse box in the engine bay after I did some more searching. The bare wire grounded out it looks like, but just long enough to short the system and not melt any wires. The reason I didn't find the short was, because it didn't melt any wires at all or the plastic around ...

Yay!!! I am starting to think the fuel pump is going out since I can't see a...

Took it out on the highway today to test it. when you push down on the throttle the car looses power and the engine bogs down, which causes the car to slowdown. if you let off the power comes back I tried shifting into a higher gear and this prolongs it a little if you gently push the throttle you c...
