I drive a 00 Gs-r

hey i jsut got my brakes replaced at my local shop..i got the car back today and
noticed that the check engine light was on...so i took it back and they said they will check it with the diagnostic thing...and tell me what code its throwing..

the problems ive noticed are..
idle is jumping from 800-1200 while sitting still
major decrease in throttle response
when i press the gas sometimes it hesitakes and then kicks in like im flooring it
the car shakes while sitting still

can anybody tell me whats wrong with it

also i will update this at about 12:30 tommorow with the code that its throwing

 

we need the code to help you out more

but sounds like you are mis firing

 

yeah thats also what the guy at the shop thought..but i dont know how to fix that or how much it costs..could someone please tell me that

 

re-do your plug wires

when you look at the engine from the front of the car this is the order on the block

4 3 2 1

and on the distributor hook the numbers above up like this on the dizzy when you are looking at the distributor from the passenger fender

3 4
1 2

hopefully i explained it well enough

 

my wires are alrady like that what do you mean by redo them?

 

bump

 

check you spark plugs to see if they are properly tightened and do not have a large amount of carbon build up on them

 

can i just wipe them off or is there something special i need to do

 

buy new NGK ones for about $7.50 or get a wire brush and brush the tips off

 

how nice of a shop is it. I think some shops test drive the car after jobs like that. hopfully they didnt beat the living **** out of it. It was fine when you went in and now its running like ****. someone else drove it.

 

Since its obd2 you can go down to the local Autozone and have them pull hte code. Good luck

 

thanks alot guys ...yeah im goin down to autozone early tommorow and having them do it..and then prolly buying new sparkplugs.. what kind do you guys recomend from autozone.?.. or should i go somewhere else to get them?

 

yeah when i pulled up i saw all the mechanics looking at it in envy..prolly cuz its dumped and hella clean....its not that great of a shop but all the other shops in my area where booked and i needed to get my brakes fixed asap...yeah im pretty sure they prolly beat the **** out of it...i hate people like that

 

^^ when i had my gsr emissions tested i caught some little bastard beating the **** out of it and i said something to him. he said " its my job haha" the i snapped back with, "you're an *******". he walked away with a sour look on his face, but its cool because i know the lowlife went home that night and cried his eyes out. haha

 

lol can they get in trouble for that kinda ****...i should mount a hiden camera and catch those bastards n sue them and buy a turbo kit

 

what kind of spark plugs from autozone d oyou recomend or not recommend

 

The only ones autozone ever carries that's "good" is the denso's. I don't think they carry NGK's. They have bosch, i'd stay away from them on a honda.

 

NGK are the best plugs for your car

as far as the workers beating the **** out of it, thats why I let no one work on my car, period, and if I have to valet it im getting a chip that has a fuel cut at 3500 and a rev limit at the same rpm so they couldnt beat the **** out of it if they wanted to

 

where do you get NKG plugs at?

sounds like a good idea with the rev limiter

 

bump

 

autozone may have them, i wouldnt know because we dont have any around me, ive never been to one hah

you can order them online

 

my buddy has all that computer **** put on his talon. and he can run the whole car through his palm pilot, when he took it in they were surprised to find that the revlimiter was set at 3500, cause he knew they would beat on it. he told them he set it like that and they refused to work on it

I wouldnt have told them, I would just do it and let isbe a suprise

beating on another persons car without there constent is f*cked up

the chip is the only true way to keep your car safe against ******* service people and toher strangers driving your car
