well as a lot of you know i did a lot of work to my car back in early april.......well since then my car hasnt been acting right, no power down low and no get up when i reach higher speeds. had no idea what it was, thought it was something i messed up with my boost a pump or some other type of fuel issue...well i was right......i sea foamed my car and changed my oil yesterday and as i was putting my vacuum line back in i realized that ONE OF MY PLUGS TO MY NUMBER 8 CYLINDER WASNT PLUGGED IN!!!! well guess what happened when i plugged it in....it runs like a got damn beast.


im an idiot.

so the lesson for today is.,.....if ur **** isnt running right. make sure everything is plugged in!!!

You didn't have a CEL or realize that there was a terrible miss?

I had my #8 injector completely go out on me once and the car runs so bad as all RPMs that I wouldn't even drive it. At least you got it fixed and it wasn't anything big.

the only cel i got was for an O2 sensor, i changed it and it went away....there was a miss, and it drove like **** but i had no choice but to drive it running like that cuz its the only car i have, but you know....no harm no fowl..

V7 Power Baby!

V7 Power Baby!

I would call it a V6.5 as it has to turn and compress the air in the dead cylinder but gets no power from it.

LOL. It sucks and rocks at the same time.

 

[PapaSmurf]

[~C~]

I was on V7 power for a while. I had it in my sig as the founder of the crew.....till I fixed my issue.

That's pretty funny!


That's like free horsepower, after you're used to not having it plugged in.

I had a similar issue, my #8 injector went out and the thing was misfiring terribly. Car was shuddering, had no power, etc.

This happened to me years ago with my 97 T-bird. Took car in to the dealer for the recalled intake manifold problem and when I got it back the monkey mechanic forgot to plug in one of the plug wires.

 

[saxmanJJ]

Of course, I only tolerated the problem for about a half hour before I was on the horn to the dealer ...

Would have thought you would have got a misfire code but at least you got the issue fixed.

Better late then never.

 

[dcook_14]

At least it was an easy fix! I was throwing a bunch of CEL and it wasn't starting or idling well, then i realized that my throttle position sensor wasn't plugged in. Oopies!

 

[4valvegt]

Wow you would think it show a misfire code. Mine said somethin like open circuit on number 6 coil when i missed mine.
