ttemper Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 my car has been missing bad for the last 2 months. i changed the spark plugs about a month ago thinking it would help. well it did at first. it ran fine for a while. yesterday i get into my car and right away i notice it missing..the car shakes out of control...when i push on the accelerator, it bogs down and barely goes anywhere. it died on me twice in less than 3 minutes. the odd thing is it died when i made two right turns....i made sure the rubber boots were making good contact with the plugs, they were as far as i could tell. i told my dad about the problem and he said it could be the fuel pump or the modulator. im running low on cash and i hope its cheap to fix..w/e the problem is...if anyone has an input or advice it owuld be greatly appreicated..i know getting a new car would fix the problem. but im a broke college student. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neonfink Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Maybe try some injector cleaner? Did you change your wires along with your plugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
