something is wrong

caintcatchmyGT · October 10th, 2007, 09:22 PM

So today i had formation at our motorpool and i had to park in the grass. When i went to leave i reckon i rubbed something underneath my car and when i stomped on the gas it spudderd really bad and the whole car started to shake. It only does this when i get on the gas hard. if i drive it easy it wont do it. Im not sure what it is. i dont know if maybe something sucked up in my fender CAI i was running rich before, but 1/4 tank in about 5 miles, something is really wrong!....any advice guys would be great!

check the O2 harnesses, you may have ripped a wire or even had one come unplugged. It would be consistant with your symtoms.

i have no o2 sensors hooked up...i got long tube headers

The first thing that pops into my mind when I think sputtering at wide open throttle is either a fuel flow problem or a air flow problem.

How long has it been since you've checked your air filter, fuel filter, or run some injector cleaner?

I'm leaning heavily towards a fuel flow problem

Theres is a huge problem, you need the front to sensors ghooked up. Why would you not hook something up that is required to make you car operate correctly. You can buy 02 harness extensions to hook them back up.

this is off the wall, but in response to the shaking really bad, possibly you dented, or warped the drive shaft. but you gotta get the upstream 02 sensors back on there asap
