61285, Back on the road, but still wont run right...help
Posted by blckeclipse95, Oct-12-03 03:16 PM
Alright, i wrecked my car back in the beginning of may. i have now just got it up and running. well, it seems to be idling a little high, but normal. starts at 1500 then slowly got to 1k. also i took it on the road and this is where i need help. hard to explain, if i give it too much throttle it starts to putter. but if i go to where it doesnt putter its fine. its about 1/4 throttle and it begins puttering i guess u could say. i dont know what it is. i think iam changing the plugs tomorrow. but if anyone has an idea i would appeciate it.

I used some expensive injector cleaners and something-80. I'm willing to bet though, new plugs and wires will fix that problem.
