54348, bad ground and bad o2 maybe?
Posted by 420AYE, Jul-01-03 05:57 PM
ok, i'm thinkin heres is whats wrong. i started that, "everyone that has stutering misfire" etc post. and my hesitation came back after changin plugs and wires. so its either my coil, fuel filter(doesn't make sense if it went away) or my o2 sensor, or cam sensor. i cleaned out my cam sensor with cab cleaner. dunno if that was bad. then i took my iac motor and cleaned it out. i can also hear my alternator through my speakers, i think i have a bad ground somewhere, i also heard it was because of rca cables crossing, or the amp being too far from the battery. but its funny, sometimes my subs are loud and sometimes they aren't. its weird. i jsut wanna get rid of it. any help is app. tia.

Recently, my car was "jumping" when I gave it gas. Alot of hesitation, then it would go, then stop, then go, then stop. Made the car almost undriveable. Checked wires, plugs, etc. All ok. CEL was on for o2, changed that. Went away for about 30mins then came back. All the time the A/F gauge was going insane, lighting all the way up. Finnally we checked the o2 sensor wire for the A/F gauge and it had melted against a pipe near the TB and was grounding out the signal. I taped up the wire, and no problems since. Definetly check all your wires and make sure nothing is grounding out anywhere.
