misfiring


Recommended Posts

ok...my car sat for a few days and today when i started it and drove it in town it was misfiring like crazy

 

besides the chance of bad gas, spark plugs, and plug wires....is there anything else i should be aware of?

coils? icm?

 

 

run some dry gas and see what happens. that stuff worked wonders for me when i had bad gas

Posted

i'm checking the plugs, wires and coils tomorrow....we'll see what i come up with

 

i had to drive it on like 5 cylinders today... :lol:

finally went out and checked...one of my wires was almost chopped in half :shock:

ok heres the story so you can really laugh!

 

one of my wires came out of the little thing that holds them in a bundle...no clue how...but one day I started the car and it was bouncing off the radiator fan...

 

I "thouroughly" examined it checking to make sure it was unharmed and put it back into place...

 

well today in plain site i move the wires around a bit and noticed a huge chunk missing from one of the wires and the actual wire it's self was frayed out...the same wire that was hitting the fan....god i'm a moron to miss that

 

it was barely connected and apparently the movement of the engine was enough to break the wire completely...i wondered why it would miss sometimes when i floored it :lol:

 

it's all good now though
