I drive the car everyday- the battery terminals corrode up alot and they've been quite a bitch, however i just went and spent $25 for those gold plated terminals and everything and they seem to be doing fine.
Originally posted by techboy Was it doing this before that install? Have you replaced your air filter recently? When is the last time you changed your spark plugs? Do you have any fuel mods? If your car is older and you have never changed injectors, it may be time for new ones. Check these things first, fuel pumps rarely "go slow".
Yes, its acted with way off and on for about a year...My air filter could use a change in the near future, I have a cool air intake. No fuel mods to the car either. Spark plugs were changed about 3 months ago. I bought Bosch Platnum 4 --where they have 4 ends on them and you dont gap them.
Originally posted by a_miller_76 I know this sounds stupid dude, but check your coolant temp sensor. Seriously. I was having the same problems and I replaced my sensors, my coil pack, injectors, plugs, wires, fuel filter, o2 sensor, bla bla bla. It was a bad coolant temp sensor to blame. Take my advice, learn from my fuck up, go get your codes checked.
Coolant temp sensor? Where is it exactly, and what does it look like? The check engine light isnt on... does it still throw codes? I put on a new thermostat (like a 160 degree) because I hear that it helps...
Also keep in mind, it dont act this way all the time either. It does it only ever few months- then it goes away. And when its in this phase, i cant remember if I said this in my first post...but when I start the car, the only way to keep it running is to give it gas and hold it for a while... after 30 sec or so, its fine.
--I just called autozone, they priced a coolant temp censor for $20.99 (if thats what is causing the prob.)
