50731, whats wrong with my car? real crappy idle
Posted by nappyjim, May-08-03 03:28 AM
When i start my car up and it is idling....it sounds like it wants to die. I have exhuast so normal it sound like, for lack of better terms, a roar. But now...its like put...put...put....and it sounds like it wants to die.
Its like a smaller version of the sound i got when i started the car with only 3 spark plugs in.
What could it be?

could be anything
clogged fuel filter
one/two cylinders not firing
bad EGR system
blown motor/rings
kink in fuel line
poor fuel pressure
cracked spark plugs
etc.etc..
