so on my way home from englishtown on saturday (hot as hell), i come up to the tolls entering PA, and my car just shuts off... Pull it off to the side pull the plugs clean them up, 2 were covered in oil. the threaded side in the combustion chamber not the white part of the plug. Slap the plugs back in and start going again, then it dies again 10 miles down the road.
Whenever i pushed on the gas pedal it would bog not matter if i stomped on it or tapped it. kinda like my car was starving for fuel. This just happened on my way home, it was running fine before. I checked the grounds a million times so don't tell me that! fuses seem good, unless i overlooked a certain one. I am thinking dizzy problems, anyone else have anyhting like this?
The car just cranks now, and i cna smell the fuel so i don't think its that. any ideas?

 

I say your Ignitor took a ****.....Check that with a known good one and see.

 

but if my ignitor died, would i even have spark at all?

 

you could have weak spark. when my ignitor took a my car would run, but start breaking up like crazy.

 

The same thing happend to my on my LS, There was spark but it was week, the prolbem ended up being the MSD SCI box sh*t its self. The box went out but not all the way.

 

well i have stock ignition so, it can't be that for me, i am gonna swap ignitors and go from there.

 

don't forget all the backfires = unburnt fuel... SHITTY WIRES DON'T HELP !

 

if the bottom of the plugs are covered in oil you better check the compresion...if it didnt leak in from the top your motor is fubar...

ignitions also take a **** when they get to hot..especially ignitors and coils

 

yea well, i replaced the coil with another i had laying around, and put everyhting back together and now it works, sooo whatever it was got fixed somehow. maybe it was just the heat. i dunno. But it works and i am happy

 

vince I would still test the icm just to be safe.
