Default s14 ka is acting up again...

Alright so this morning I went to get gas before heading to work since I only had a quarter of a tank and today was payday = ). Well 1st thing I noticed that when I turned my car on the overderive light kept flashing but stoped, then my car was idling really high. Then as I went to turn out my driveway I noticed I had to use a lot of gas just to move. So when I finall got onto seminole blvd I had my foot all the way down on my gas pedal and it slowly accelerated and I smelled somthing horribly in the car. So I filled up my tank and drove home very verry slowly.

Specs:
S14 ka24de stock
New spark plugs ngk platnum's
New fule filter
Still good on oil
Injectors seem good
More than half a tank of gas

I'm assuming a bad fule pump or mabie its my wiring harness. Much help would be appreciated!!

Yea but that's been on for a long time before this happened. And my car was running fine before this started.

LOL, really that's your mentality? You do understand that there can be multiple reasons the CEL is on... maybe it was on for something minor like an o2 sensor before, but now maybe it's on for an o2 sensor and something else. Something more important that could be causing your driveablity and mileage issues.

Take it to autozone and have them pull codes. It's free and it will help diagnose the problem.

Am I correct in assuming you actually drive a Kouki S14 ( 97-98 ) or do you just have a Kouki front?

Its a kouki conversion I did. Last time I went to get my car checked my check engine light was on due to an aftermarket exhaust and I think I need to replace the lower o2 sensor on the exhaust it does look pretty old.

Check your ATF, similar thing happened to my Accord when I started to lose fluid. If it is doing things as badly as you have described it is probably empty.

That's where I was going to point. The flashing OD light on the dash is the trans controller asking for help. Probably low fluid, giving low line pressure. If it smelled, uh, that's not good.
