Idles rough runs rough at low rpm's and less rough at higher rpm's. Lots of carbon blowing out exhaust pipe and fuel dumping out of injectors. I have changed rotor, cap, plugs and mass airflow sensor. Used my code reader (blinking service engine soon light) and got code 22 and 54. Just had a new catalytic converter and muffler installed after being tested and found to be all plugged up.

Hello,

It sounds like the ECM is bad. Here is the location so you can swap it out with a used one you can get pretty cheap.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken

Thank you for the reply Ken. I was told by a shop after they did a compression check I have a bad cylinder or even a bent lifter. They were going to remove valve cover to determine.
