Hey all,
Not a good night. Motor started sputtering when reaching 3000 rpm. Half-way though a tank of gas. Idles fine. No odd noises. Sputters under acceleration and in park. Google has not been any help. Thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -------------------- '99 Triple Black GT Convertible

Check the primary and secondary resistance on the coil. If it passes that, test the fuel pressure (you can rent a tester at AZ or OReilly). Those would be the two most likely culprits but the coil is by far the most likely critical component to fail on 6gc's at this time in their lives based upon what I've seen on the forums.
You can also check the wires either by checking resistance with a multimeter or by wiggling them around and watching for blue sparks when it is very dark at night. Replace the plugs, they are only $2 a piece and need replacing at least every 40,000miles if they are copper, half that distance would be prudent; I wouldnt trust platinums to last the sales pitched 100k miles in a 20year old vehicle either. Cap and rotor can be visually inspected for pitting on the points or a crack in the cap. |
