#77759, "HELP! weird problem with engine"
Jul-17-04 08:05 AM by talonguy2005



          

well, to start, the exhaust is pulsing, like louder quiter, but the rpms stay about the same. And the car kinda bucks under acceleration. im pretty sure I have a clogged cat. But I dunno if it could be anything else to make the exhaust sound like its pulsing. Or causing the car to buck under accerating. I wanted to get my turbo on, but no i have to deal with this. Also I drove for like an hour yesterday with this problem, i had no choice, and thats when the pulsing sound from the exhaust started happening. Do you think that the cat could be clogged, and from me running it that long fouled the plugs or something?

Check the plugs, plug gap, plug wires, coil pack. Make sure everything is in order. It sounds like misfire imo. Does it still rev all the way to redline? It is worst when you're WOT?

is the hesitation occuring intermittantly at part throttle...followed by smooth driving when you are at a constant speed?

i agree, it sounds like plugs/wires to me.
