Here's my problem. i have a poor man's type r, and my car started sputtering all through the powerband. the past 3-4 days ive been using RACETRAC 93octane gas...is that the problem? or is it the fuel filter which is long overdue for a change...? thanks.

 

timing?

 

ignition problem possibly need more info

 

as i go through gears 1-5 the car would run normally but seem to sputter a little and bog down...kind of hard to explain.

 

sparkplugs, sparkplug wire, distributor cap and rotor those might be the culprit if not anything else

 

mine used to bogg at idle. Turns out i used 87 gas instead of 91. I got a B16. You might have had a bad batch of gas.

 

thanks for the great replies...ill have to see whatsup now.

 

Racetrack gas is horrible. my friends mom's mustang would throw a code if she ever put racetrack gas...

 

its an ignition problem i had the same problem prolly a misfire with the sparks

 

So, new sparks and wires will do the job eh??

 

what do you guys think is wrong with my ignition??? should i check the plugs and wires??? its bogging down still...

 

my car had pretty much the same problem, but i had a bad conection on the map sensor, just took it off and scraped the terminals, look at your plug and see if is coroded at all

lmao

at OP:
It's always possible you got a bad batch of gas...though 89 octane should be sufficient...might even be able to use 87...what's ur comp?

 

he said he has a poor mans type-r meaning he needs to run 91 octane.

 

found out after i put in brand new sparks and wires that it's the map sensor. it's throwing up code 3. what to do now?!?!?!

 

test the wiring, then test the sensor, dir
