A friend was test driving my car and pushed 2nd gear and tried to slam 3rd but went into 5th. I know its bad for the motor to slow down like that. i was driving and i noticed my car started sputtering all of a sudden. it would be fine driving normally but when i get on the gas it starts to sputter.
one friend says i need a tune up
another friend says its the headgasket.
anyone know? need answers asap.

This thread is still on the first page!!!

 

your telling him to search because you probably dont know. Chances are it might be a plug fouling up. if your lucky. it could be worse tho. i would start there. A bad headgasket and you would see dropping water levels, overheating, white exhaust if im not mistaken, possibly foamy oil, that sort of thing. Could have something wrong in your valvetrain if worse comes to worse. also fuel supply problems are a possibility

yeah im going to get plugs and wires and also do a leak down test tomorrow. i dont over heat, the car idles fine and everything. lets just hope its plugs and wires.

 

dont waste your money on wires. they dont go bad overnight. just get plugs.

 

thanks alot. heading over to get the plugs right now.

 

I shall ask: any CELs? What year is the car? Stock ECU?

 

no CELs, 1996 GS-R stock ecu. whole car is stock but an intake and exhaust

I'm guessing you didn't read the thread I posted, I made a contribution in that thread and yes I might not know because anything could be causing that. So please do not say I probably don't know without reading that thread

You seem to not know wtf you are talking about, he did not say how long he has had the wires so they could have gone bad any time

Just get the plugs and if that doesn't fix it then get the wires

 

would bad wires cause a loss of vtec?

mine is doing the same thing..but vtec doesnt engage.

i changed the plugs already..but not wires

 

changed the plugs. car works fine now, thanks alot H-T!

Going into 5th instead of 3rd isnt as bad as going into 3rd instead of 5th
