It depends on the year. Unless yours is European, it has the B30F low comp
engine and does NOT need a thick headgasket. Usually even the high compression
B30E and B20E will run OK on normal gas as long as it isn't spiked with
weird things like alcohol, MTBE, etc
I had similar problems with my 145E, same system, B20F engine. I found that
my MAPSensor was bad and so was my computer. (I took them up to a friend
in Hutchinson, Kansas, who had a running 142E. He let me swap my parts,
7 MAPSensors and 4 computers into his car and I found that I had ONE dud
MAPSensor and ONE dud computer but all the time I had been working on it I had
either the bad 'puter OR the bad MAPSensor installed, IAW Murpy's law.
So if everything else chex out OK, you may have an electronic problem in either
the MAPSensor or the box under the seat. BTW I found that water can get into
it through the cable where it comes through the firewall! The grommet is like
a FUNNEL!! No water in the car, but some in the computer! So you might want
to check that and see if there is evidence of moisture or corrosion in the
'puter box.
