y2kgtp Posted September 27, 2018 Report Posted September 27, 2018 Car was low on gas and stumbled a bit, so filled up asap. Even after I filled up, the car has been sporadic on the missing/detonating the past day or so under load. Filled up at a different gas station to make sure I did not just have a bad tank of gas but the problems persist. No codes yet thrown. It did this just a couple months ago and a set of new plugs seemed to correct the issue. Perhaps I need new plugs again, or something is wearing them out prematurely? Will have time this weekend to dig more and hopefully replace plugs/wires/fuel filter as a start. Car has 112k on it currently. Quote
y2kgtp Posted September 28, 2018 Author Report Posted September 28, 2018 So I stopped on the way home from work and picked up plugs/wires/fuel filter. I swapped in the plugs and wires, took it for a quick drive and seemed fine. Plugs were a bit reddish in color, but even though they were replaced just a couple months ago, the rough running was likely not good for them so swapped out. Quote
y2kgtp Posted October 20, 2018 Author Report Posted October 20, 2018 And still runs great. Hopefully it was just a 18 year old wire going bad..... Imp558 1 Quote
