#18241, "My car is still putting. Details inside"


          

I found out when it is putting now. Tonight i put it in 3rd and was doing about 30 at 2k rpm. So im just coasting there and i push the gas a little more to go faster and the bitch just act like the engine is about to fall out. It bogs down and wont accelerate a lot. I did it about 5 times and the same thing happened every time. Its like its not getting enough fuel or something. I dont know whats wrong. Something tells me its not the spark plug wires. I mean would that make the engine do that. Come on Dino or somebody help me. I have 68,500 miles on my car, btw

Im tellin ya. I had the exact same thing happen to my car, at least about the engine seeming like it wasnt getting enough fuel or whatever. It would also idle pretty rough as if it seemed to want to cut out at stop lights. Also the big thing was it would backfire sometimes if the RPMs attempted to get to high. Sound familar at all? After changing the plugs and wires she ran like a new car.

Hey i didnt really have time to shop around for good plugs and wires (I barely made it to the shop) I just had them do the cheap tune up and it ran great after that.
