i've had my car for about 2 1/2 years and i've never had a problem with it. THEN:

Monday: i'm at a stop light. the car was sounding a little quiet. i reved the engine to move up in line. i stop. car dies. **bastard** so then i get it started back up. it runs fine.

Thursday: this morning it sounded kinda shaky. i can't really describe it, i just knew somehting wasn't kosher. it was kind of like my car was having hiccups during shifting, esp. down shifting. but i made it to work. then, after work i start it and i make it down the road. shifting not so smooth. then it dies again. got real quiet and then shut off.

i filled up on saturday and i've driven about 250 miles since then on the same tank. when i filled up i put about 11.5 gallons in.

WTF IS GOING ON!?!?!

 

take it to autozone (if it'll make it) to have your error code spit out

 

Ever put any injector cleaner in there?

 

or change your plugs?

 

my dad just put injector cleaner in it. we've had to use it before because my car started running shatty. he said he might change my fuel filter too.

hopefully that helps a little....and i'll bring up the plugs too.

thanks

 

The Chem Tool injector cleaner works great, Redz told me about it and my car runs SO much better now.

That will only work if the CEL is on. Check the airflow, make sure you're engine is getting nice, cold air. Also make sure to check the contacts (pickup some electronic contact cleaner from RadioShack, etc.) on your Airflow sensors. Could be a lot of things man, check the plugz, most likely if you already cleaned your injectors and that didn't help, thats probably not the problem. How many miles on the car? But most likely man, prolly something to do with the airflow.

 

that's not true

you will get error codes no matter what..... light on or not

auto zone may only do the check if the CEL is on. i know you can do diagnostics on your shish though

 

If, and when you do the plugs, you might want to also check the spark-plug wires.

 

my car only has 24000 miles on it. the engine should be getting cold air because i have a AEM intake.


BTW, i'm a WOman wink1.gif :twisted: :twisted:
