#106254, "DSM is dead!!!!"


          

So yea my DSM is D-E-A-D. I had issues with the car stuttering earlier this week. Most people told me it was the sparkplugs because they were the Bosch platinums +4. I didn't replace them instead I ran a tank of Premium Gas in the car, this fixed the problem. However, today i went to go pick up a friend at school and it started misfiring worse than before. So after my dad gets home he drives it throws it into second going down the highway but doesn't overrev it. So we get it cranked back up and he revs it to 6k and it dies again. So she is sitting on the side of the road. Any Ideas guys? IF someone could tell me how to read codes off the car that'd be wonderful.
Thanks Guys,
Doug

There is no point in guessing whats wrong with it on the side of the road..have it towed to your house.

So we figured out what the problem was. Can you believe the CAS was loose? go Figure. After that it drove like a dream. I'm such a moron.

Might as well replace those crappy spark plugs with some good NGK ones. They cost literally 5 bucks for all 4, save yourself some troubleshooting for another problem down the road.
