stalled at a red light being lazy and about 1/4 mile down the road my check engine light pops on im like alright what the hell. so my car starts lumpy idling from like 1400 rpm to 1600 rpm quick burst idle. i havent got a chance to hook anything up but my oil is fine it runs strong as hell. ill hook a my computer up tomorrow and see. any input would be appreciated

 

This is freaky!... the same F'n thing happened to me today... I felt a strange hesitation and said that is weird... then as the engine got warmer it got worse.... sitting in traffic I had to play with the throttle to keep the car running.... Was the CEL flashing at first.... mine was... I was affraid to come to a complete stop and restart the car... so I restarted on a roll incase I needed to jump it... the CEL then went solid.... Got home... turned off the car and the car restarts fine but the CEL is still solid and idles like ****.... So I have seen several posts about this issue so far... I have 1997 ITR #40... 37Kmiles NO MODS... perfect condition.

SO... What is it.... Is it the ECU?... What do I do next.

Miss "R" is sick....!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!

Code was 73 = misfire in the 3rd bank.... I had given Miss R a bath and washed under the hood... well water got in under the spark plug shield and in through the #3 spark plug boot... hole... tube... thingy... ANY WAY! that caused a short hence my CEL. So, while I was at it I changed the rotor cap and the rotor... And got new plugs... The NGK Irridium... Are the Irridium plugs o.k.? I had 3 guys at Super Autobacs swear by these plugs.

What are your thoughts...

Thank you for the help! Miss R is happy! PEACE OUT!
