allright
got it. so no where near california.
i am going to go to my mechanic, and make sure i do need the new wires and plugs. i want to rid myself of this effing misfire i have had for so long.
wires look old, and i dont know when the previous owner changed them or when the plugs were replaced. so ill pull one.
like im walking in the dark with this car, hate it so much sometimes, but i also couldnt bring myself to sell it. not now.
Its fine till it warms up then ~~~~. i can pull the mafs and it runs a little further when warmed without the misfire, but its still there.
bought $10 heatsink grease didnt would. use premium gas, only slightly better.
used seafoam through the crancase and gas tank, booster cable. changed oil, no difference. no white smoke either. so make a clogged cat?
most people get some white carbon smoke, me i got none, or actually so little it dissapated by the time it hit the bumper.
might not even be a misfire, i think it is though.
driving along and at a red light, it will start to shake a little, then a lot. the whole vehicle. it sputters. and makes a motorcyle sound when accelerating. the boost gauge goes all the way to 5psi while the speedomoter barely climbs. at the red light the boost gauge will go up and down, and so will the speedo.
reads 16-18 vaccum, and idles at 650. would a clogged cat cause this problem? i almost didnt pass smog becasue of high NOX. and the car wasnt driven for a few years but was garaged, then pu tback on the street with new hoses, and some injector cleaner, and octane in a bottle.
maybe i can get a video or pictures of what i mean up soon. this may help, becasue you guys probably have had this problem, and fixed or killed your SC for it.
