The car sat rarely used for the last few years now my daughter uses it for college. The car ran great but the temp gage stopped working new spending unit fixed the problem but rather the sending unit is off a little or the car is running hotter than it use to. It use to stay in the middle unless in traffic with AC on then it would climb 3/4 of normal. Now it 3/4 of normal with AC off and near the end of normal with it on. Then It started to jerk and buck. Ran the codes 185 186. Cleaned then replaced the maf sensor still running ruff. Changed plugs, wires cleaned and oiled k&n filter and changed the fuel filter since I was having so much fun. The car ran better than I could remember for 2 days. Then it started missing sputtering and losses power. Pulled codes again now it didn't like the O2 sensor so that got replaced then it wouldn't keep running. Found holes on the bottom side of the air tube made temporary repairs cleared computer again ran so so as long as you didn't give it to much gas to fast. Seemed to run better until the check engine light came on the it started to miss stutter and loose power until it stalled and I AAA it home pulled the codes 186 again. It pulls steady 20 inches vacuum at idle. Also now when I try to do a KOER test if I touch the throttle the reader goes blank or locks up. Any ideas
