Miller Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 I'm getting misfire codes and terrible idle/lack of horse power on the car (especially around 2000 rpm). Gas mileage is terrible and its dumbfounding my ass. I have brand new injectors, coils, plugs, and wires and yet I'm still not getting anything. Damned part of it is the car likes to do it after it rains, unfortunately it hasn't cleared up this time like it usually does. Any ideas?

AJ Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 ingition module, the way GM has it set up a misfire code will only be set if it is a spark misfire not a fuel misfire. also check compression before replacing any parts could have a head gasket out or a burnt valve from driving it with a mis.

Miller Posted June 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 I got it checked and I had a bad coil, the car is idling fine now but under load it accelerates like it would normally then drops off like it still isn't getting spark. My car has been down like this for 5 weeks and the frustration is killing me. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Mackzilla i had a 1996 Camaro did someting similar and it had blown head gaskey get a pressure check or check the obvious things. Also I got a code scanner we can log data from it and see if its pulling timing and other random sensors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Posted June 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Thanks dude, and thats exactly what I was thinking too. I got under it this week and found a drop of oil smack me on my forehead and this thing has never had a leak prior to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
