loss of power need help asap

02edge · July 6th, 2011, 10:48 PM

so all of a sudden my car stalled and now it bogs and wont rev up no matter how I am on the gas and than it all of a sudden shoots up. Also when im coasting at a steady rpm it surges alot. I went and changed the plugs wires and fuel filter cleaned the iac and tb reset the ecu and still not fixed what could it be

that little wire controls alot lol...it meters the airflow and tells the ECU how much fuel mass to give the engine.

i've heard very bad things about that demon coil pack....

02edge · July 8th, 2011, 08:19 AM

ughhh I need to find my stock one what are the symptoms of a bad coil or anyway to test it

Loki · July 8th, 2011, 06:06 PM

When my coil went, my car would drop to low rpms and just die. after that, it would crank, but wouldn't start. if I waited a day or so, it would start fine, but do the same thing after 15 minutes of driving. I didn't have any problems with blogging, but that may be because it just died before it got the chance. lol

my car's coil went out and it would lose a lot of power and the idle would sound really deep and you could tell that it was missing. also some fuel came out of my tail pipes. but try the old coil, i have heard a lot of bad things about the screamin demon coil packs on our cars. get the stock one back on asap. i replaced my coil with an oem one.

02edge · July 11th, 2011, 04:38 PM

changed fuel filter plugs wires coil back to stock cleaned iac reset ecu and still didnt fix it. pulled the cel and its a rich bank 2 so once the weather cools down today im going to check the o2 sensor and wires on that side I bought a new sensor also im guessing bank 2 is the pass side?

02edge · July 11th, 2011, 06:40 PM

problem solved was the o2 sensor
