So my car is pissing me off... I know there have probably been other topics, but i don't have the time to find it. Decided to make a couple pulls on the highway earlier. didnt hit my limiter quite, but got on it good. After I got off the freeway to the stoplight, I was running fine. Once I left the stoplight, my car decided to start running sluggish. Not horrible, but major loss of power. The engine stays put, no rocking. But the car itself is leaning out under acceleration and running from really rich to really lean on idle. It sounds mildly cammed with the sluggishness. I need to figure out if anyone else has had the same problem and what you did to fix it. I know its a misfire of some sort probably, and no I didn't have the chance to get codes checked yet. The cel was flashing at me when driving and the rpms dropped much quicker than they should when shifting. I dont think its the internals but am torn on what the most probable cause would be. Any and all help is appreciated...

FYI l61 Supercharged 42lb injectors with ngk 1 step colder plugs

 

flashing cel = misfire.

 

pull the plugs and have a look.

 

hows the exhaust smell? clogged cat?

 

I've been working all day. I'm about to go check it all out. Cat is a possibility because me and Ryan figured out that my cat doesn't work anyways. I got new ngks that are gapped correctly along with one coil pack to trial and error to see what's going on. Did a lot of research at work and it looks like plugs, coil packs and ignition module are hopefully gonna be a winner.

 

replace things 1 at a time.

 

Fixed. One of the spark plugs collided with the electrode on itself. Checking everything with my tuner on friday

 

Easy fix!

 

Don't know your model year but if you got the coil pack then my money is on the ICM going bad.

On my iPod.

 

Spanky youre alive!!!!!

 

Yes i am, lurking .fail and waiting to re-boost the balt.

 

Didn't see it got fixed. Good ****.
