48997, engine cuts out?
Posted by KSeclipse, Apr-13-03 06:18 PM
basically my engine changes everyday, but lately i've been going through alot more oil. like 1 qt a week. But sometimes,today, it'd start up wierd. and then when driving, when it hits like 2.5k rpms it like pauses and then goes again. it does this in everygear, it's like the engine just pauses or something, wtf is going on? i did plugs like 2k ago, last time i pulled my plugs out though they were all white and blistered, what does that mean? should i check my timing?

Could be a sensors TPS, MAP...

Also do a compression test, with all the oil you areloosing I'd like to see the numbers.

i go through about 2 quarts every 2-3k miles, so i'm also in your boat, the hesitation, it's like waaaa , uh? aaaaaaaaaaaaaahh, but my is more like waaaa, uh, uh, aaahh, uh, aaaaahhh. yes, i'm being creative in describing my prob.. i've been told coil, wires, and plugs. I know HG is shot because of all of the oil poaring out the back of my block (yours might be too?)


how many miles you got? i'm at 159k

not only noise but feel too, the car will actually buck if i'm trying to start out from a stop. i tried taking off before and my friend thought i let the clutch out too fast, i'm like, no, i know how to drive stick. it has mad hesitation. it stutters.
