97 Sidekick Sport 1.8L - CUTS OUT AT 1/4 THROTTLE
#6
OK, I took it for a drive tonight. I drove a total of 12 miles on the freeway round trip.
It was cutting out right away, seemingly not temperature sensitive.
On the way home it really acted up. It was missing at all throttle settings when I tried to accelerate. To explain it, it was a LOPING type miss, rev a little, fall on it's ass, Rev a little, fall on it's ass, and it did this for a couple of miles until I turned into my drive where I was barely idling the rest of the way home.

If I drew a line it would look like a radio wave, peaking every 3 to 4 seconds, Up then down, never really coming out of it, and not able to really accelerate. This thing is really getting under my skin.
It did not set a check engine light, so probably no codes, but I'll look for codes tomorrow.
PS. I did do the MAF cleaning following your instructions.
I could not find a compression gauge, but I really don't think it's a compression issue.
