HEY HT,

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR TODAY TO WORK, AND I GOT ABOUT 5 MILES FROM HOME WHEN I FELT THAT THE CAR WAS LOOSING POWER. IT STARTED TO DECELLERATE, AND THE CAR FELT LIKE TI WAS STUDDERING. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, AND WENT BACK ON THE THROTTLE, AND IT WOULD BE OK FOR A FEW SECONDS. AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS I WOULD HAVE THE SAME POWER LOSS. THERE ARE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, NO CODES, NOTHING.

PLUGS WERE CHANGED LAST WEEK WITH NO ISSUES, AND THE CAR HAS A 1/4 TANK OF GAS. wHEN THE CAR IS COLD... NO ISSUES, BUT WHEN IT GETS TO NORMAL OPERATING TEMP... THATS WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS!

 

Have you changed anything else on the car recently ?

 

only the plugs...

 

damn... im sorry for the caps in the top post

 

did you ensure that the plugs were gapped correctly?

maybe the TPS is bad? does it idle funny?

 

a ground AGAIN??

 

the idle is perfect. the plugs were pre-gapped i believe!

 

i doubt its a ground this time.

 

well here is your problem, STOP STREET RACING EVERYBODY AND YOUR CAR WILL STOP BREAKING LOL

 

Tps*

 

dam boost, i agree with mikeycivic, stop ****ing racing everyone and anyone that gets near you! lol

bro are you home? ill come trouble shoot it today

 

i wont be home tonight...

 

unplug 1 sensor at time and see if anything changes

 

hey i had this problem before. its your distributor i had this problem last summer driving to my friends house and lucky it was close to my house not outta nowhere pushed the car home in like 100degree weather! took me awhile to figure out what was the problem. but good luck just replace your distributor and it'll be good again. i had same exact problem bogging when normal temp cold start it be running good! good luck

 

its the distributor guys!

 

Now the car hasnt had any issues lately... I dont know... I drove it to lunch and at normal temp.. It was bogging...

On the way home, i decided to drive the car till empty... No problems then. I filled it up and put a fuel injection cleaner...

Still good to go!

Hmmm... Hopefully the problem doesnt come back!

 

its probably your dizzy as mentioned above, check to see what the crank sensor looks like, look for a crack, even a hair line crack will do it. your best bet replace the whole unit(dizzy)!

 

check your injectors maybe 1 went out. pull 1 plug wire at a time when your car is on to see if it wants to trun off.

 

well i had the same exact problem you had everything the same. came to be my distributor. but if its not doing that anymore than i guess?

 

pregapped? wat kind? i had pregapped ngk iridium.. n they sucked.. pulled em out n found out that i had to gap them myself.. the box even said they were pregapped

 

the car isnt having the problem no more... wierd!
