I tried to check the codes and I could only get a reading from pin 7. The light on the recirculate switch in the interior was blinking as well but I don't know how to read that.

I got codes 2, 23, and 30. I have almost no confidence in that. Neither pin 8 nor pin 14 would give me anything - the light wouldn't even turn on.

My car does not have ASR so I think the throttle motor is only for cruise. Maybe I am wrong but I intend to take look it over well tomorrow. I'll take it out unless it looks like it's been replaced. Is it possible for me to repair that unit if the wires are bad? If I replace it do I need to have some programming done by the dealer?

I tried replacing the spark plugs and noticed the connector end of one was very corroded and the connector from the coil to the plug was kind of deteriorated. The bolts holding the cover on, which also hold the coils in place, were all stripped out, so I helicoiled them. It didn't help. I thought maybe the coils were loose. I did not replace the connector because I couldn't get one right away.

I drove the car today and really lost power about 10 miles down the road. Now it seems to be missing badly. I suspect the coil or that connector but I'm still pretty stumped.

I appreciate all the input.
