Hello all i am new to the k-car club.
I have a 1985 Chrysler LeBaron 2.2L TBI which is still in beautiful shape, hardly any rust. It will start but will not idle, will tach up in park or neutral and sound normal but as soon as you put it in gear (under load) will stall and has no power to pull itself out of its own way, I have had it to two separate mechanics and it has stumped both of them. The List of items recently replaced include but are not limited to, intake gaskets, timing belt, fuel injector, MAP sensor, TPS sensor, distributor, belts hoses, radiator, coil, Air filter, Fuel Filter, Fuel Pump and ECM. Got the car with only 67,000 miles 2 years ago and it has just over a 100,000 miles on it now. After the intake leak, Fuel injector and MAP Sensor were replaced about a year ago it just ran great, and then one day going down the road lost power going up a hill and hasn’t moved under it’s own power since. The cruise control quit working shortly before this happened but can't seem to locate a vacuum leak anywhere. Any suggestions would be helpful at this point. I have too much invested to just scrap it out but would be willing to sell for parts if the price is right. You would have a hard time finding doors fenders etc. as clean and straight as these. Thanks in advance for your help!!! VonZipper
