So, heres the deal. In my last topic, I said I felt like something was wrong with my transmission, now from what I have been told by various people. I actually have a misfire... Again... I took my dad for a ride in it (he has an extensive car knowledge) first thing out of his mouth when he felt it was "misfire." This baffled me, for one My dad and I replaced the Coil and the Spark plugs when one of the cylenders stoped fireing arround January or Febuary. Problem fixed, the Spark plugs in there were the origionals... 101K miles and the origionals were going still. Anyways. about a month if not less after that I started to get a misfire, my dad said I had to replace the spark plug wires, so I went to autozone, payed $30 and got some I believe Bosche spark plug wires. We replaced them, everything was cool for a month, but I kept noticeing a slight bouncing when I would be sitting in 3rd or 4th gear and going down the street at arround 35-45. As well as the occasional miss when I would be accelerating in 2nd gear, and when I say acclerating, I mean Heavy traffic, or getting onto the freeway. Then about a week after this is very noticeable Im coming home on the freeway and the car is just missing like crazy on the on rap in every gear from 3rd. SO for all of the brilliant car minds of the CEG site. WHAT might I have to do?
New parts include:
New Timing belt
New Bosche (I think) spark plug wires
new Champion Platinum Spark Plugs
New Coils.
Ive checked the wire connections, as well as my dad has and they all are tight. Today I doubled the ammount of gas in my car with prenium to make it a midgrade... My dad says if its the spark plugs then the misfires will become less appearant and most likely go away as long as I have a richer gas in there. My Air Filter is pratically brand new.... If none of this stuff is the problem, I would think the Fuel filter would be the last thing that I need to replace that would be causing this problem, but thats a big if.
