12381, ok guys i need your help...engine misfiring
Posted by dsmark, Jan-18-02 09:35 AM
it started about a month ago, engine would miss at low rpm's...then keep missing...3000, 4000, til it just isn't firing and that's where i am now...i hit the gas and get a big old bog. here's what i've done, new timing belt(its on right, no engine light), compression check(all good), spark check(all good), and new plugs. so have any of you guys ever had this happen, and if so how did you remedy it. any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

New plug wires. 9 times out of 10 that's the problem.
12383, nope...

nope...definatly not..i tried 3 sets..not wires


this is like i step on the pedal and my engine stalls...could it be fuel regulator?...or maybe that throttle position sensor problem i read about on the 2gnt page, when they go bad..

anyone?

hey know what I have the exact same problem for months now. I have no idea what's causing it. It mostly happens when I'm warming up though. If I try to step on it it bogs down around 3k. It must be some kinda vacuum leak or something. My plug wires are like 2 years old some I don't think it could be those. But after the engine is good and hot the car worx fine.

NE1 else know what this could be? It's really annoying....

Mine does the same thing. At 4K my car boggs like it needs more air or gas.
So I changed plugs, put in MSD wires, changed O2, changed TPS, and it still does it, I was thinking it could be my FCD so I ordered the VC2.
Hopefully this will fix it.
