missing again!

silver99gt · October 9th, 2008, 11:49 PM

this damn car i dont know what to do with it. i get everything fixed and it runs well for a week and then it fucks up again. this car seems to be running only on 7 cylinders right now. it has brand new plugs in it so i know its not that. it runs alright goin down the highway but its still missin a little because the car kind of vibrates. at idle and low speeds it runs worse and smells like gas bad and now has even started to have a little bit of a backfire in the exhaust everyonce in awhile. im not pullin any codes whatsoever. any ideas guys?

umm........wait for rags to answer

F8L GT · October 9th, 2008, 11:51 PM

did you check the COPS?

ajm · October 9th, 2008, 11:58 PM

Check the coils.

silver99gt · October 10th, 2008, 12:02 AM

i was hopin someone would say the COP's. I read or heard somewhere once that when goes bad that the others have a tendency to do so soon after. Is that crazy talk or is there some truth to that?

silver99gt · October 10th, 2008, 12:20 AM

you really thinks thats all it is? i suppose theyd hold the condensation in there as well for a couple days?

energiesource · October 10th, 2008, 12:25 AM

what did yours read when you checked them
all of mine read from 0.6-0.8 and i dont know if that means theyre good or bad or what

silver99gt · October 10th, 2008, 12:28 AM

yea i know what you mean. i datalogged mine once too because people said that was probably my problem but then when i got my numbers nobody could tell me whether they were good or bad. so thatd be nice to know, im right there with ya on this one

SWEET2KSTANG · October 10th, 2008, 12:29 AM

i am not too far from you, i have my stock ones laying around somewhere if you need to borrow them to find out.

silver99gt · October 10th, 2008, 12:30 AM

sweet are you running aftermarket ones? if so which ones?

SWEET2KSTANG · October 10th, 2008, 12:33 AM

i am running the gms hot street coils.

silver99gt · October 10th, 2008, 12:34 AM

did you notice any difference with them? ive been considering going ahead and swapping them out for some aftermarket ones. i know its not really that big of gain for me right now but im looking at down the road more than anything

energiesource · October 10th, 2008, 12:35 AM

i thought granatelli was shit?

SWEET2KSTANG · October 10th, 2008, 12:37 AM

the biggest gain with the aftermarket's will be in the high rpm ranges. my car pulls great top end for a 2v, and huge difference on the bottle. i beat the hell out of my car, run it hard daily, run a lot of nitrous, and the coils are great. i would recommend either the gms coils or the msd coils.
