Having an Issue here Mates.

Skargon · November 13th, 2011, 08:50 PM

When Im driving it feels like I have a Mis-Fire or something..

Let me explain..

When I accelerate its normal, But when I hold a steady speed I can notice it..
Every few seconds I feel the power Skip as I drive, As if I am Letting go of the Gas and pushing it down again.

ITS NOT SUPER ROUGH.. Just enough to scare me. =P

Misfire?
Missing Teeth on Diff Gears/Transmission Gears?

Or could a super bad worn out slipping clutch / TOB cause this kind of feeling?

Sounds like a coil to me. pretty good way to test is find and accelerate WOT up a hill in the next high gear.this puts a heavy load on the engine and should cause a misfire. this test would also apply to a slipping clutch. slipping clutch probs usually show up when accelerating

Make sure you plug wires are on and your plugs are tight...

Have you even looked at your clutch yet? It can cause some serious slippage if it is bad enough.

Skargon · November 13th, 2011, 11:14 PM

Its REALLY badly in need of replacment, The clutch is anyways..

I will do that Misfire test, But I'm pretty sure its the clutch now.
I Pulled 3 plugs and they were Gapped fine and such, No oil/dirtyness that shouldnt be there or anything.

Wires are all firm etc.

Coil is second thought, Any way to test the Coil?

If its a misfire you should be throwing a CEL. Id definitely check your coil pack

If you end up needing a cheap coil pack replacement I have one I'd sell you cheap.

ag11hockey · November 14th, 2011, 12:51 PM

if the clutch were bad you would notice it slipping under acceleration more than at a steady speed.

mustangmike! · November 16th, 2011, 01:10 AM

as far as the coil pack, I just had to replace mine @ 55k miles ... Sucked.

BUTTT

Mine was missfiring in the 2000-3000 rpm range only while driving (under load) (hill or no hill)

Revving it worked fine.

No CEL

Pulled plugs, they were fine

Put on new set of wires, didn't fix

Put on a new coil pack: FIXED

Took new wires back ;D

75$ fix, borg warner brand from my local auto store. Had them in stock surprisingly.

That was my experience. Worth a try.

Skargon · November 16th, 2011, 10:34 PM

All of my plugs/wires are clean, Guess i'll try a coil out of my Buddy's V6 and see how it goes? Lol

Stang6899 · November 16th, 2011, 10:45 PM

Yeah do that. If its the coil I'll sell you one for $20 shipped.

Skargon · November 16th, 2011, 10:46 PM

is it a factory old one? =P

Or a New one that was kindof used?

mustangmike! · November 16th, 2011, 11:33 PM

^ No shit ...

Wish I would have gotten that offer -_-

iPAPKE · November 17th, 2011, 02:22 AM
