need some help with Hesitation
Ok some time ago my car went for a small swim. thank god it didnt screw it up to bad.
But i have noticed that since then i have delt with a miss and also a hessitation if im driving down the road and stop on it it like slipps before taking off. when i pulled codes it says a random miss. (go figure i got this one pretty quick) But now the check engin light has come on and i havent figured this one out yet. I did take out the plugs and wires and think it might be a broken wire, So any other things to check let me know. or any ideas what it might be[:@] |
RE: need some help with Hesitation
Is the current code still a random misfire?
I believe coil packs are the most troublesome part of our ignition system. |
RE: need some help with Hesitation
yeah this is still the current codes in the car.
funny thing is i have tried to clear it and also reprogram the computer to the stock version agian. and it has poped a code again. But. you cant feel it when your giving it gas as often but it is defently there at a Idle. |
RE: need some help with Hesitation
I would start by removing your coil packs and cleaning and re-greasing the connection underneath. Re-install them in different locations, just because.
|
RE: need some help with Hesitation
ok will try that. didnt think of trying to clean the connection on them.
MAN I JUST WANT A DISTRIBITOR BACK!!!!!!!!!! lol hate the new eletronics crap. so much easier back in the day. get it dry and it ran good again |
RE: need some help with Hesitation
Personally, I like the new stuff. Ive had too much problems with old style ignition than I EVER have with the electronic stuff and fuel injection. Get some water in your gas with a carb, and it won't run. EFI don't care, just use clean gas. No thanks, I'll keep my electronic ignition, even with troubles. Never got 100,000miles on plugs with a distributor. Now it's nothing. Points burning up? NO THANKS! I had a dual point system break a set of points one time. stopped me cold!
Besides, yours went for a swim! |
RE: need some help with Hesitation
Time to upgrade to MSD Ignition Coils. :)
|
RE: need some help with Hesitation
I wouldn't spend the money again on the MSD's unless they were cheaper than factory coils. BUT, I would NOT buy any other replacement coils .
|
RE: need some help with Hesitation
yeah it did go for a swim.
man i raced for years on HEI stuff an deven points but the points wernt my fav. As far as the MSD stuff i have heard that it was not as good as the stock stuff. i might have to do some reserch on this also. mine are painted not MSD. :-) but honestly would not care one way or the other if it would just run correctly again i can live with the black coils undr the hood. but i know painting them didnt do this to it. it was painted for a year or better and hadent swam before all of this happend. I also have to get the filter etc. on teh tranny changed again. I do it about once a year mise well get it all done at once . just did the oil and filter . Finally found a place that can clean and recover the syn. tranny fluids. witch is pretty nice considering when i left they were hard pressed to even have it on the shelf at the the local auto parts stores. |
RE: need some help with Hesitation
I was actually kidding with that post. Should have put a LOL in there. :(
I would replace them with stock coils again. I can't see why they wouldn't be interchangeable with junkyard ones though so I would try them first. |
