Shawn89 Posted November 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Well I dumped a whole can of seafoam in the gas tank to clean the fuel system out . I drove to zanzsville and back and that didn't solve anything. Getting a maf tomorow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06busa Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I had an issue like this with my civic hatch a long time ago. If I remember correctly the screw came out of the rotor in my distributor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn89 Posted November 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 If someone can help me figure out what's wrong with this car I will bring it to you! Lol. I cleaned the maf last night and that didn't help a damn thing. I'm running out of ideas and money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Have you looked at the fuel pressure yet? I've got a 190 pump around here somewhere I can loan you. That and I still say plug wires. I bought a flurry of parts for my mothers Jetta trying to fix a similar problem this summer, new maf, coil, plugs, wires. Changed the wires out again, and it ran fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedfocus1647545489 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 For as cheap as they are, I'd still change the plugs before you throw any more expensive parts at it. I have had mishandled plugs right from the parts store more than once. Sometimes they can be cracked/loose at the base where the porcelain meets the hex and be electrically open but look just fine. You could test them, but for $8 I'd just swap them. May still not be the problem, but certainly worth trying at this point I'd say. If the jack-hole that sells you the plugs slams them on the counter - have him get you another set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn89 Posted November 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I haven't checked the fuel pressure yet but ill try and to that today. I made new plug wires from a new set I had laying around, I've done that before and it worked fine. I checked the power resistor on the maf and it showed 1.1ohms. Ill get a new set of plugs and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoostedAce Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 You should deff compression test it, I had the same problem and it ended up being zero compression in 1st cylinder. I have one if you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
