87312, Some1 plz help, this car is REALLY starting to piss me off Posted by reeveso, Mar-20-05 08:55 AM
im seriously starting to think this car is possessed by the devil..anywayz to make it short..i've been having a weird idle issue problem and i thought it was my timing belt, so i took it back and had it re-checked and he said everything was fine..that whole day the car ran normal besides the idle, then today i drive to work and it starts misfiring..no CEL, then i get out of work and its doin it a lil bit worse and when i get home i checked it and im gettin a CEL #43..according to our lil table that means its the ignition coil, and a misfire and a list of like 10 diff. things...i dont really know how to check my coil but im gonna make an attempt going by my haynes manual lol...is there anything else i should check? and also should i even drive my car or doesnt it really have any effect besides soundin shitty?

How many miles does it have? When is the last time you had a tune up done? What are your mods? I would start with coil, plugs, and wires to see if that will help the problem. If that's not it, then you may have a serious problem, like the ecu or the harness.

Don't freak out yet. Could easily be coil, plugs, wires. They all fit your description. MB

well i just changed the plugs and wires so its not that..im gonna take it 2 my mechanic in a lil to get the ignition coil b/c my dam multimeter isnt workin..i also just replaced the ECU a few weeks ago but it was a used 1..and its pretty much stock (look at sig)..i dont even wanna get into detail on whats been replaced in the past few months..it'd prob take up about 4 pages worth of space
