#76801, "dear God i give up on fixing this miss!!!!"




          

ok here's the problem. i have a miss from hell. at idle it sounds like i have some very badass cams....but noooo it's a miss. sometimes it'll stutter under throttle and sometimes not. well i've changed the plugs, wires and i just changed the coil pack today. and well guess what? it's still got the miss. i can't find any vaccum leaks. maybe i'm lookin over 1 or something. i give up!! anyone have any ideas?

Thou shalt annointest my cylinders with oil and my exhuast shall be full. But thy oil clouds and white smoke shall follow me all the days of my life. I shall dwell in the land of DSM's forever."......yes i wrote that myself

make sure there is no oil on ur spark plugs, or you'll have to change the valve cover gasket, with the o-rings for the plugs, and also it could be ur wires, unless ur getting a CEL...

NGK is the only company I know that pre-gaps plugs correctly. However, do not go by them! Always gap, or check the gap, of your plugs before you install them. Also, check the connections of the plug boots to the plug and the other end to the coil. Goodluck!

Edit: Get in the B&M group buy! The link is in my sig.

check your O2 sensors and your map sensor.

Having Problems? Heres my Three step solution to anything 2gnt related.
Step 1: Put down everything in your hands.
Step 2: Grab a lucky strike, Smoke it.
Step 3: Walk to the fridge, double fist some keystone ice, sit down in the shade, drink one beer, finish cigarette, drink other beer, roll a joint, smoke it, walk back to your problem, and in about 5 minutes the solution will come to you.
If not. Go here: here

If still nothing, your trying to hard. Start over at step 1.
