7876, help (kinda long) Posted by aj, Jul-26-01 01:21 PM here it goes...my car stutters on low RPM's at low speeds(40 mph or less)...I checked the FCD(re-wired the whole thing),checked my vacuum lines...all's good.My check engine light's not even coming on.It feels like how somebody steps on the gas,brakes,steps on it again...and so on...but it goes away at WOT,stutters a bit then jumps right out...I got the BKR7E-11 gapped to .035.It kinda drove weird since I put the NGK's on.Would faulty or mis-gapped plugs do this?I'd really appreciate any sugestions...I got 440's and an AFC coming...gotta get this show on the road! | |

7877, RE: help (kinda long) Posted by DarkOne, Jul-26-01 02:00 PM Yes. Recheck that gap. 1283's (BKR7E-11) come pre-gapped at .35, so unless you dropped one or something, they should be right. Have you tried different plug wires? | |

7878, RE: help (kinda long) Posted by aj, Jul-26-01 03:55 PM PRE GAPPED!!!???I asked the auto store if they were pre-gapped,they said no.I asked some guy to teach me to gap em' and it seemed like we did it right.Dang'...thanks,I'll check em' tomorrow. | |

7879, RE: help (kinda long) Posted by aj, Jul-27-01 03:05 PM Well,haven't had the chance to get new plugs.Re-checked and re-installed the fuel pump,vacuum's at 17-18 on idle(enough?),vacuum tee's are good.Hope it really is the plugs.What if it's not though? | |

7880, RE: help (kinda long) Posted by Matt_95tgs, Jul-29-01 11:27 AM I had a similar problem once with my plug wires. I had my bro get in the car and step on the gas while I watched under the hood. I noticed that one of my plug wires was grounding out (could see a spark) on my upper strut bar. | |

7881, RE: help (kinda long) Posted by aj, Aug-03-01 03:59 PM well,i changed the plugs,changed the wires,re-installed the fuel pump,checked my vacuum lines.turns out i'm getting a code for my o2 sensors.would bad sensors cause my car to misfire?just wondering cause the misfire code apeared before the o2 sensor one.BTW,i think i'm running way rich.gas mileage is worse than a b!#!#...and i got black residue forming all over my back bumper,loss a some power too...what' ya'll think?car stutters really bad on low speeds.(45 and less) | |

7882, RE: help (kinda long) Posted by DeezGst, Aug-03-01 05:45 PM One way I've always found to check the 02 sensors (might not work on your cars but does on Honda's and 4G's) is to make sure the car loops at idle.. meaning does your 02 cycle at idle and at cruise if it doesn't then you probablly have a bad .02 sensor. | |
