Sc400 Acceleration Problem
#21
I've said this I think three times now, but stop wasting so much money on **** that's probably not gonna help and just get it diagnosed. In the end, it probably will save you some money.

I had the same problem. I had a different code i got a 13 code tho. both my CEL and TRAC light would stay on and it was a camshaft position sensor. Test them with a ohm meter. if you get a OL reading that means the sensor is bad.

I have a 92 sc400. It has 141k. It has a bad acceleration problem. I dont know what it is. It idles fine and then when I go to drive it, it has no real power. It will gradually accelerate and go through the gears. I have replaced the plugs, about to do the wire. Could it be the fuel pump? HELP!?!?!? This is my only car and I need to get it fixed NOW!! PLEASE HELP

Replaced a coil on the right side of the engine(when looking at the engine) and it runs GREAT NOW! I dont have any shifting problems or anything anymore! Going to reset the codes and see if it still spits out a 25. If it does its probably just an o2 sensor but nothing big. Thanks for all the inputs!

92 SC400 - not running on all 8
Car ran perfect, went to store - block later fell on face - feels like running on 3 or 4 cyclinders. Starts, idles ruff. Replaced both coils & fuel filter - no change. 1 coil drivers side was bad. Dont know where to go from here. Car has 177k miles.
