hey guys Stella here...(my cars name) licence got suspended and well I havent been drivin her much, maybe 3 times in the last two weeks. Today my buddy was drivin my car and twice tonight she was smellin like gasoline Bad!! and boggin a bit (drivin fine but soundin bad) it cleared up after a bit.
My constant: code 20, 8, 6, ELD, TDC, & Coolant and none of these
My varabile: is aparently a code 3? vision a bit blured...90% sure
Ive had my DOHC ZC since June 2010 and hasnt acted like this before, it burns oil a bit but thats all. The engine has always backfired and sputtered on the down shift or let off the gas, but never a problem for me.
let me know what you guys think...Im a little worried

 

How about fixing all those 'constant' codes.

 

 

Tune-up, Timing Adjustment.

 

Code 20 I couldnt find any solid info on it other than replace the fuse box, code 6 coolant sorry I dont have 40$ some odd bucks to fix a sensor that kicks my fan on & off
and code 8 TDC...also sorry I couldnt wrap my little head around the ****in procedure!!
The bitch an't burning rich nomore, so dont even bother! Thanks but no thanks!!

 

 

sorry I mised the "tune up" plugs,wires,distributor, TPS sensor, oil & gas filter all new since June. Am i missin something for the tune up? I think I'll get my buddy to help me with the timing this weekend. Thanks...aparently Im rather irratated today!

 

Distributor Cap and Rotor,Spark Plugs, Oil, Filters, O2 Sensor
You don't have to pay 40$ for a plug, go to the junkyard snag a few.

 

Oh, well sorry - you should have made a note that you're a cheap ***. That would have made diagnosing one of the many issues with your car easier.

 

Do you have to drain the coolant in order to replace the sensor?
....Im more like a broke ***!

 

Lol,just top it back off/bleed cooling system after (can place pan under to catch what leaks during sensor replacement) Done!

 

cool thanks!...the O2 sensor ur talkin about is on the exuast manifold right? why would that make my car run rich?

 

air/fuel ratio is what o2 is for i believe. make sure you get the codes cleared. my temp sensor was shorting and throwing a code. made my car run like complete ****

 

Bumpin my own thread...well its not that old! Problem persist...and has gotten worse, or perhaps better (far as trouble shooting goes) Ummm its leakin gas from #1 exuast port, even lit that sh*t on fire!! Yeah!! I hit the throttle & bubbles of gas seaped out between the block & header, plugs wires ect 6months old...perhaps a stuck injector? or valve busted? Or maybe #1 spark plug is cracked, miss-alingened. All in all the ZC runs...shitty but runs & its pumpin a sh*t ton of gas in that cylinder & its not fireing it off I guess, heance the lightiable seapage. Any new iddeas or existing ones re-iterated would be great!! Thanks!!

 

NOT SUPRISED AT ALL!!

 

just tryin to save the trees by not double threading!

 

I had a similar issue with unburned gas in cylinders 1 and 2. The plugs were wet with gas, and the engine idled poorly. I tested the ICM inside the distro, and then replaced it. Now runs great.

 

Did you fix those codes? lol its never gonna run right with all those codes. Your prob don't need a new sensor for the coolant temp. Its probably just shitty wiring. fix the wiring it doesn't hardly cost anything to fix wiring

 

How about taking out the injector and and looking for cracks, check to see if it stays stuck open? Take the spark plug out?

How about just going out there and actually putting hands on it? Try that before bumping useless threads to vent.
