i was driving the other day and past 4k my b18 was sputtering and acting weird, it graduallly started doing it in lower rpms. then it didnt do it when i woke up but then today i was driving and it stalled so i tried to start and it wouldnt, i left it in gear and held on the gas then it evntuallly started again, after that it happened again so i did the same thing, then i was stopped at a light all on the same trip and then it stalled at the light and hasnt been able to start since like 5pm, i would just pull it off and try but its in a parking lot right now so i cant do much, im gonna go get it tomorrow. if its the cat i was just gonna bring a jack and unbolt the cat

the distributor was in good cond when i bought it less than 5k ago, replaced the cap and rotor, new plugs i think the wires arent too old

 

bump

 

coil or ICM?

 

Does it sound clogged? How is your gas mileage?

 

you might have flooded it also...take out the plugs and see if there's fuel on them

 

i went up to where my car is at today and i pulled the plugs, they are covered in oil, like 2 3 and 4 were like flooded

 

i replaced the plugs and it still doesnt start, i pulled them and the had oil on em so i took em home and im gonna spary em with carb cleaner or somethin should i get new wires too?

 

oil means something is leaking or not sealing i think its called blow buy? idk bc if you put new plugs in there they are just gonna get oil on them to

 

Try a valve cover gasket kit with the spark plug tube gaskets...

 

Anything aftermarket? Alarm? Alotta problems occur when the things you have modified, go faulty sometimes...

It could be a bad

 

ALARM? yea those are notorious for blowing gaskets
hahaha

 

lol...well the smallest things you should test all the electrical first with a multi meter....

i didnt read the other posts....my bad...but the cause of oil in a spark plug chamber/whole is due to because of the gasket on the valve cover is brittle and or missing...

but for sputtering issues...i believe its an electrical problem.....

NOOO This is your dog

 

i know whats causes the leake, the nuts that hold down the valve cover, a few of those are old so they dont seal the cover down right.

i have i/e/h on a b18a, i replaced all the bearings in the bottom end, whole head gasket set, new oil pump, water pump, rebuild pretty much with out the pistons and rings. a few stupid problems just like IAT and stuff ntohing big but this

 

screw it.. if you think its the cat. pull the exhaust and run an open header home... at least see if it starts and go from there... I would guess its something electrical personally. I've had some clogged cats in my day that cause some shitty mpg and power but none clogged enough to do that.

 

anyone know wut could be wrong?

 

did u run out of gas???

 

no lol i have like half a tank

 

lol just checkin
