NEED HELP WITH ENGINE ISSUE
Tuesday, June 03, 2008 6:15 AM
Ok so those of you who know me from way back know me. Those of you who don't Nice to meet you....

On with the issue.

I have this little problem with my car kinda annoying. Sometimes it runs great and other times she gives me attitude.

The other day I turned it on went for a drive and filled with with fresh 94 octane gas. It was fine on the way to the station. I pull out of the station and I start getting this rough idle. When I press the gas the car started to sputter, and I had to press the throttle very lightly to get the car going with out it stalling. Its a auto.

And then I took it back home left it in the driveway and you could see the engine struggle to idle. Sweetness has HP tuned this thing and it runs great but sometimes it does this to me.

It got a new cat last year and is rarely every driven. What could cause this issue. I am going to try and replace the plug but I don't think its that I mean its done this when the Iridium's were brand new as well and even before I ever changed them.

what do you guys think it could be ???????

BILL Blownblack Z I am calling you expertise out here buddy! Help me out!

Thanks

George

Considering the car has sat around and barely been driven... I'd say check the plugs as I said on the phone. Failing that it'll get a fast reflash from me... it fixed the issue last year.

Permanent fix? DRIVE THE CAR.

-Sweetness-
-Turbocharged-
Slowly but surely may some day win this race...

Holy @!#$ its George

But ya I agree with Chris check the plugs and replace them the stock GM ones they are the best for a stock setup

On a different note are you actually goin to have the car out at all this year? Or is it just going to sit again

Amen. At least some guys hold on to the pants in the household.

Plugs are always the first place to start. With the Ld9, it's likely the coils.

Never ever said I held the pants BUT WHEN I PUT MY FOOT DOWN DISCUSSION OVER!!! PERIOD . I will not compromise on my car. I built it with my Dad I have stopped putting money into and I never put it first. Therefore its a none issue as far as I am concerned!!!!

Anyways thanks for the help I will check it out.

Being here, at home, on my laptop, rather than actually checking out the car and having a scanner handy, I'm afraid there's not a whole lot of help I can give you George. You can try this, that, and the other thing all you want, but you're probably going to give yourself headaches. Ask Robbie Pellow (see his thread to "get" joke)

Whats Up Weasel!!!!!

Thanks Bill and NO I AM NOT PULLING A ROBBIE I never claimed I knew to work on motors I mean basics fine thats what I GOT CHRIS AND YOU FOR BILL, so if i got to wait until CHRIS can flash it with tuners or if I have to grab it and do it myself then so be it. But

Although I do think people who know me will vouch for me and say NO ONE DETAILS CARS LIKE ME!!!!!!!

Mega tron, I don't have pictures on the net, I am not on the face book or pic hosting sites, but if you question the existence of the car,
"said car" is real.

I am sure even some of these guys Chris for sure remembers me modding and driving to mini meets when I was 16 with my dad in the passenger seat lol. Than came the days where she was not driver

Carey I KNOW EXACTLY who you are now WHATS UP BUDDY!!!!!!!

What ever did happen to Borg's?

My car is done but LOOK OUT FOR MY BROS WERE DOING A COMPLETE OVERHUAL OF HIS PT!!!!!!!!!! Got it back form Kieth losier's shop just before winter and were in the process of mapping out his new interior!!!! So I am not done with the scene yet, but when it comes out....... debut number 2 lol its gonna win some trophys I think, Nothing widebody or conversions but clean on the outside and retarded on the inside!!!!!!!!.

I will try and change my plugs and see where that goes.....

I have an ODB@ scanner if I tell you if it through any codes Bill maybe that will give you something to work on......

Thanks guys

George

Whats up buddy? Long time no speak. Try checking the little hose going to the map sensor. Im not sure where yours is place now since your have the HO intake, but its very common for it crack and cause the car to run like crap.

Post up the codes if you get any

I am sure there are enough people on here that can look it up for you

As far as where Borgs went he had another kid and moved up near peterborough and and works way too much

Hopefully we will see you put and about this year
And I will say that fire has the cleanest stock paint I have ever seen in my life
And it looks pretty damn sweet to boot
