Nick1234 Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 ok so ever since i towed a 8 foot trailer home a couple weeks ago, i have had some issues with the motor. First off, the car pulled the trailer fine, except the fact i was driving into a 40 mph wind, and i was going like 70, which equates to like a 300 mph wind. Anyway, now, and not all the time, if for say the car is in 2nd gear, at about 20mph, and you put the gas down like 3/4 way down, it like "gurggles" and makes a little spitting noise out the back. Now its not loud, and it isnt like a hard core backfire. It gurggles like 3 times and then picks up speed. Now i have a few ideas, but im going to get your input first. don't want to go putting ideas into you head. ill get back once i get some input. Thanks guys Also left my friends house, put it in 1st, 3/4 way down, did the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91oldscutlass Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Maybe you are getting clogged injectors....That is what my Cutlass was doing before the injectors went out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1138 Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 Dunno if this could be an issue, but check your coilpacks. I just replaced mine because my engine was missing, and it's like I put a new engine (and alternator) in the car. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1234 Posted June 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 gp1138, i was thinking the same thing. see i think maybe robby told me that either they are good or they aren't, im going to replace them anyway. I am also doing a whole new exhaust, and i have had the thought the cat is bad, then while im at it i am going to do plugs and wires cause it is time, and then some fuel system cleaner. My first thought was the coilpacks, then the clogged cat. nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gp90se Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 cut the cat off, put on a $5 pipe from autozone. if that fixes it, u can order a catco cat off ebay for $38 ($50 to ya door) and its done. -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
