Wednesday, March 08, 2006 12:07 PM
Okay heres from when things started. Last week i was driving and noticed my car was missin just here and there and then it went to missing when i was driving but wouldnt at an idle and now its missing all the time. I put new coils, new coil tower and new boots and new spark plugs and still didnt help. I pulled my spark plugs out today to check them out. On three of the spark plugs where the threads are they are all black but the white part is still white. On 1 of the 4 sparks plugs is where the others are white this one is tanish black color. Im totally lost and have no idea on what to check next. Btw my car is a 97 cavy with the 2.4 manual with 139,000 miles. If anyone could help i would GREATLY appricate it. Also i put on a new fuel filter.

Tanish black means too much fuel. Check either your crank position sensor or for a sticking injector.




Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.
