Yesterday my car all of a sudden started pulsing/sputtering, not in rpm though. I was running fairely empty, so I figured it was just running out of gas, but more gas didn't change a thing. I believe it's something to do with the fuel system, I'm throwing IACV which is from before, and now heated O2 and Injectors. I replaced the O2, injectors, and reset the ECU. Codes still all show, and still the same symptoms. I changed the fuel filter, and fuel pump as well, still the same issues. Car won't rev past 3500, and sputters constantly. Exhaust is also letting out some sort of fluid out the back, has no distinct smell though. Spark plugs, plug wires, dizzy, air filter, 02 sensor, all of that jazz was replaced 4000kms ago. I got no idea where to look now, I've tried everything I can think of. Any suggestions?

 

your car is in limp mode...the fluid is probaly raw fuel, have you actually checked to make sure you have spark? dont just assume the parts are good because they are newer...CHECK FOR SPARK, and what is your fuel pressure at

 

How do I check for fuel pressure? I need some sort of gauge I would assume to hook up the the fuel regular on the fuel rail yeah? If I put my finger on it, it feels like there's hardly any suction, if any. How could that be caused though? Lastly, how do I check for spark (beak me)

 

how many threads do you need to explain incorrectly what problems you are having.

 

I know I know. Just lookin' for some help here, I've tried everything I can think of.

uhhh what??? Take it to a shop, cough up the dough, and drive home in a running car. You obviously dont have the tools or hands on ability to fix this yourself

 

My neighbour has a fuel pressure gauge. I've never done it, and he was curious how I thought it should be done, so I was asking. I'm sorry if I asked the wrong questions, I'm new to this aspect.

 

check for spark at all cylinders, then check fuel pressure, then post back
