94 lumina van, fuel trim intmnt. fluctuates Sign In

Hey, I'm actually stumped and have turned tot he forum!

I have a van in my stall at work, it was brought in for some f/e repair and a stinking exhaust. We changed the 02 sensor as it was bad, and the stink went away. I noticed before I did the repair I was test driving it. It would kind of sputter and then it would smooth out.

Well I hooked up the tech 2 and the fuel trim will go from 100 to 170 at idle every once and awhile, it'd sputter then smooth out. I have checked fuel pressure, flow, for vacuum leaks, and egr, all fine. I really am at a stand still. It doesn't do it all the time. I drove it 15 miles and then let it idle for 15 minutes and it ran perfect, fuel trim was 125-130 the whole time. Let it sit for ten minutes then started it to let it idle, and withing in 3 minutes it was doing it. It seems like the cooling fans turning on sometimes will trigger it, but i'm lost. Any help is appreciated.

I would try giving the ECM a couple raps while it's idling. There's a good chance it's a bad ECM but you also need to check grounds and power supplies and the 5v reference.

I'll check it out, according to the customer, of course it never did it before.
