Ok today for no good reason my car started running like crap. I boosted out of a drieway and had gone about 2 miles at 45mph when the car stated to miss. Shortly after that I noticed it was running rich too because when it would sputter it would ignite the fuel in the exhaust. I did have a similar experience with this one day after washing the car but the CEL never came on and the problem went away by itself (wet igniter or map?).
So I limped it home and tryed to check for codes, but my ECU is crap and wont show codes. I tried resetting the ECU and it did nothing.
ATM it makes my eyes water at idle and wont hold any RPM without breaking up and almost stalling when I let off the throttle. Also I noticed about a 3deg temp increase and the vacuum at idle went from 20+ before to about 18 now...
So tomorrow when I start getting into it a little deeper what do you guys thing I should look at?
Spark
Map
Igniter
Fuel?
Hell I dunno, but this means Its time for a drink! :beer: :crying:
