117696, uhh trouble..
Posted by Flipboi89, Nov-12-07 03:52 PM
ok so hears what happened... i left from a place and when i came back to my car my positive plug wasnt connected.. so i fixed that quick then i went home.. i dropped off my friend then stuff started to happen...

my car idles not so well, also like theres a delay from the gas.. like i would normally let loose my clutch at the same time and i would be perfectly smooth, but now it like slips and the rpms like die the all of a sudden jump back when even when i dont gas anymore.. Like i was coming to a stop and my car almost stalled when i was holding my cluth all the way in... Also when i came up to the drive way, as i released the cluth and gased it like it almost stalled then all of a sudden the power came back and i didnt press the cluth or the gas more...

uhh any help or ideas?

Yeah, what is the Check engine light doing and get us a code so we can accurately give you a suggestion.

You probably need a new upstream 02 sensor. Sensor failure will result in the car running in a "safe mode" which is extremely rich. At idle not bieng able to burn the excess will cause the vehicle to bog and even stall completely.

Check out oxygensensors.com or something like that. They have good prices, so I've heard. If the ECU is reporting bad O2 sensor, that's the first place you should start.
