misfire, yarg Options

[FreddyTheOthaMea...]

Just wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions on my misfiring. it occures consistantly on acceleration except in higher rpm ranges (in which case is rockets forth like it normally does). i dumped some 44k ( fuel cleaner) and it got rid of the problem for a while then it came back once the tank was done. so i thought i should throw a fuel filter at it, no luck. im thinking maybe theres some kinda restriction at the pump or sticking injectors.. anyone else have the same problem?

I'm guessing possibly ignition, my car used to do the same basically and I replaced cap,rotor, and wires and it worked just fine.

you can check if you have the manual for your car to see what resistance your wires should have, and that should help some with that

my second guess would be you ar erunning too rich and therefore you have a bog with a miss at lower RPM's

just my guess ....

My car does it too, but its more like backfiring. You should check your timing it might be off. If your like me though, you kinda get use too it and it somewhat sounds pretty cool with the bang at the back of the exhaust

Could also be cheap gas. Mine will barely idle on 87 octane but runs like a champ on 93.
Not likely though. Most likely ignition (plugs, wires, our cap and rotor stinks too - I change mine out very often)

i tried dumping in higher octane fuel and it started to run a little better. gas mileage is shot eitherway, so im leaning towards a fuel delivery problem as its not backfiring (no shooting noise, just stumbling as if its starved/running out of gas) but i should probably check it anyways..

I changed my fuel filter, it made the car run a lot better.
