Well, I on the other hand think I might have fixed my stupid misfring problem that Ive had forever. After killing one coil pack, and having a second start getting weak, and having to put a stock on back on, I started looking a little harder.
I knew it was cylinders 3 & 5 so I put my OLD plug wires on those cylinders and she runs like a champ. So I think two of my stupid JBA wires with only 20k miles on them is the problem. And also killed two practically new Accel coil packs.
Sound plausable guys???

 

Yeah , stupid pita ignition systems

 

yeah. doc says its all soft tissue damage. meaning contusions, massive swelling and massive bruising. they gave me perkocet. a freaking narcotic and it rips my stomach up good.
recovery eta, 4 weeks. 4 weeks of no use of my hand and arm... this sucks. i just hope he doesnt change his mind and say i need surgery. relief cuts for carpol tunnel syndrome is common with crush injuries according to this guy.

 

I guess your pretty damn lucky then , when you said your arm went threw a 3/4 inch space - I looked at mine and thought NO WAY!!! I couldn't imagine that one..

Well , heal up bud , you gotta get that motor built..

 

Yeah, these ignitions are picky/dumb/worthless.



Klitch, thats friggin crazy
Hopefully eveything else work out for you...

 

yeh i started having at bad missfire.. fuel cut out at 4,000 rpm and higher... after all the coils and plugs checked out fine. i reloaded my tune and resolved the problem..

 

Maybe it's something in the air. Mine kinda did the same thing a little while ago. It was running great then it did that weird freaking sound again and almost stalled out on me - I think its a misfire? Sounds like air spiriting from the left side of the motor every two seconds and it's clunking as well. When all this is going on it wants to stall when I let go but doesn't. ?????

Frick if I know what it is ??? I parked it this time let it idle to see if it would stall - it didn't , but it kept like missing , or it sounded that way.. Anyway I popped the hood , revved it up a few times, held it at 1800 RPM's roughly for a bit , revved it a few more times and it's running good again..

I haven't a clue ..

 

yeh ocassionally my IAC sticks but i just rev it and it quits. but thats only when im driving for a while and its really cold.. ice gets in there. and it freezes up.

 

Maybe thats whats goin on . I have a coolant line running from my thermostat to the TB , my PVC running to the TB and another line that plugs in behind the TB by the IAC .. When I pulled the manifold two of those lines were filled with that soluble looking white oily sh^t , like mayo...

First time I seen that crap in this motor..

 

yeah, it sucked. healin up fast actually.
i got my heads from fox lake. so happy! one more step down.

 

thanks man, im tryin still!
