Thanks for all the replies so far. I forgot to mention that I did check the coilpack and its reading good, the car also drinks gas like its going out of style but the plugs look good.
Would there be any codes stored if I had disconnected the battery and no longer have a CEL of any kind? Thats where I'm at now, I do not have any type of CEL but the miss or sputter is still there. I'm very familiar with working on OBD1 systems but this OBD2 is over my head and I do not have the equipment needed to pull the codes myself. I can get Autozone to pull the codes for me for free but I'm kinda affraid to drive the car the 20 miles needed to get there. I have an extended service contract on the car but since the original warranty has expired and I'm now on the extended plan the dealership does'nt work with me any longer and we usualy end up in a big fight over things.
I have the $50 deductable but then they always charge me an additional $60 just to pull the codes, because they claim the service contract does'nt pay for code pulling. I do not know what to do. I need this car badly by 3:00 AM Wendsday morning because I have a 180 mile trip to make to get my wife to the Dr because she's seriously ill and I have to get her there if I have to walk and pack her on my back.
I've been working on this thing for 3 days until the wee hours of the morning and I'm very tired and not thinking too clearly right now. With my relationship with the dealership now theres no way they'll get it in and out in time for the trip to the Dr.
Would codes still be in the comp since I have disconnected the battery and I no longer have anytype of CEL?.....if so I'll chance it and drive it to Autozone to pull the codes.
Thanks to everyone for the replies, I appreciate it but I'm getting very desperate as time is running out for me.
