So I was curious yesterday and climbed back under the car to take another look into the bell housing. What do I find? A bolt.
It appears to have come from either the crank position sensor mount or the distributor. Now I just need to figure out how to get it out without dropping the whole trans, then figure out exactly where it came from.

So i jumped the RSR, not the issue. Ckps is working correctly.
Today I managed to get it on a lift. The noise is definitely coming from the bell housing, I’m going to research parts and see what my next move should be.
With the incorrect tach readings I want to fault the flex plate however it doesnt make odd sounds when starting so it doesnt seem like it would be that.
I was told there is a tone ring between the flex plate and torque converter. If the car uses that to read rpms and it has come loose it could cause all of these symptoms right?
Back to work for now, I’ll update on my findings.

Sorry guys, this has been a nightmare of defective parts and being sick.
The first pump was defective, i sent it back and got another one. Installed it and she fired right up after letting it build pressure.
The car is now running in 1 255lph in-tank pump and an in-line filter. That’s the good news.
It still has the partial throttle stumble and obnoxious rattle. Thats the bad news.
I’m thinking I’ll jump the RSR and see if that stops the stumble. If not the CKPS is the next suspect.

Looks like coolant is not circulating through the engine block, might want to replace your thermostat, either that or the radiator may be blocked. Thermostat is usually very cheap compared to a radiator.
If you run the engine for a while and touch the radiator hoses they should both be warm. If one is hot and one is cool then you have a problem.
Also, with a closed system like this it is possible to have air stuck in the system somewhere that can cause similar symptoms, to fix that you just need to flush the system then refill with coolant.
Now that I got home and listened with my nice headphones, you can actually hear the coolant bubbling as it goes down in the reservoir. I think you may have air in the system.

So after a lot more testing I found the pump in the tank is not working correctly.
When fuel is low the in tank (pre-) pump helps push fuel to the main pump.
This pump failing explains the starvation symptoms while still being able to run.
Also explains the sudden nature of the problem beginning as I had roughly 1/4 tank as this began.Anywho, i have ordered a Walbro 255 lph pump to take over for both pumps.
I am going to delete the main pump and overly expensive canister filter in favor of a premium in-line filter.
I will also be installing an adjustable FPR.Seems like overkill but I will be boosting the car at a later date 🙂

[quote=”ToyotaKarl” post=111939]Just to throw it out… 1995 was a weird year for this… I believe you have an OBD I with an OBD II DTC…. For this year, GM made an adaptor to use an OBD 1 scanner on it…
I don’t think this one is jumpable…

Sounds like GM. Lol
