#49962, "FuSi0N needs your help! Code 43"




          

Ok woke up this morning, started the car, drove down the block to the stop sign, and when I put her in 1st to drive off the car sputtered and I lost power but the engine was still running so I began to drive a bit and then engine shakes when I give it gas and the exhaust is deep and putters so I made a u-turn to go back home. I pulled some PCM codes and got this; 1,2 space 4,3 space 5,5 so if Im reading this correctly I have 12, 43, and 55. I don't think 12 and 55 are my main concern but 43 seems to be: Ignition coil #1 primary circuit (Harness and connector / Ignition coil #1) so could this be a bad coil, cables or spark plugs? Thanks for your input and help.

hey i just bought a ignition coil from msd so i will sell ya mine if you want it but it might not be the coil. If u go to jiffy lube they will hook u up with a P code grabber the P code is more specific in findin a problem rather than the keydance method, also i kno 55 means end of code so no worries there. code 12 is loss of power to the pcm.

It turned out to be a wet spark plug, not with oil but with water ewww! It turned out that the past day I had washed the engine and somehow water got into one of the spark plug chamber (the one to the far left) so I soaked up whatever little water was left in there and put in new plugs and the car started up fine.
