Farting and will not accelerate [SOLVED]
I have been looking for a cheap car so I can do the klze swap.
This one cannot accelerate as seems like it is going to stall. farting like a can of beans from Dennis the Menace.
Misfiring?New spark plugs? distributor?
Any idea's would be great.

Re: Farting and will not accelerate
Misfire by the sounds of it
Proly needs to be timed, jumped a tooth or needs a new disty. If you are swapping the motor does it matter?
There was a silver 94 GS on craigslist for 2700 that looks to be in better shape then mine was in. Check it out

Re: Farting and will not accelerate
You need to be a little more specific but from what i gathered if you had it floored when it was doing this i would check the ignition rotor located in the distributor and check the cap go from there like $20 Dollars at the most

Re: Farting and will not accelerate
This one is $1500 bucks and is already dropped and cat back exhaust. Just needs a new paint job as the guy tried to spray paint the scratches lol and the engine swap.
Car is 20 minutes drive from where I live. I just want to drive it and get it home .
I Didn't Floor it. This was just trying to accelerate like normal.
So if its just the disty I will go on the weekend and pick one up and test it out!!
Thanks

Re: Farting and will not accelerate [SOLVED]
SO I found the problem, replaced the distributor and rotor and that did not help. My friends mx-3 was starting to make the exact same farting noise so I checked his spark plug wires to see if I could see the blue spark. When I was testing number 4 the spark was shooting out of the side... it was cracked.
Went to auto parts store and payed the $150 for the new wires and bingo. This fixed both my friends problem and the car that I was interested in.. The other car had way to many problems so I am still on the search.
Thanks for your help guys.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Re: Farting and will not accelerate [SOLVED]
Ya im having this problem as well i did an engine tune up about 8 months ago new wires plug cap rotor, water pump and belts...... my car was getting terrible gas mileage so i changed EGR then it started doing the farting so i changed it back, and it is still doing it!!!! my mechanic friend though it might be the distributor but when we changed spark plugs and cleaned the contacts in the cap it ran fine for a few days....but its back again...please help me im at my wits end over this.....ohh ya it seems to studder when accelerating after warming up.......it cant be EGR. preferably idea that dont cost more then 700$.....
