CARS HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS PLS HELP!
Posted: October 22nd, 2006, 5:22 pm
I use to have a 92 mx3 with 245k km and didn't have 1 problem with it for almost a year till it got smashed up now i have a 1995 b6 DOHC 5spd, and ever since i got it i had nothing but problems first electrical problem, then i had to get a new clutch, then my headgasket blew and i had to replace it was fun though learned alot about the engine, and now in the last 2-3 weeks after driving for a bit when i came to a stop or idle the rpm was going up and down but didn't stall only once, but that went away right after about 30 min, and this thurs i decided to go to the movies and see the departed and on the way there from picking up my friend and when i was starting to go in first and 2nd somthing started screwng up, as if it was choking or it was running on 3 cylinders, but that was only in 1, 2nd i thought it was nothing the went to the movie after the movie on the highway it started screwing up majorly when i went to give it gas it seamed like it would choke and go slower so i got off at the next exit caz it was at 60 kph on the highway and when i got to the stop sign the car just died! then i tried to start it it would turn but not fire. the i pushed it to the side with my buddies and waited for my friend to pick us up and tried to start it again, it seamed like it was trying but no... the next day i called the tow truck to bring my car and when it got in the driveway it started!!! there goes 80 bux... but when i tried to reverse and park the car properly it start to run like 3 cylinders again. and after about a min it died and i tried starting it up and it wouldn't start.
so this is what i did so far... i put in a new feul filter that wasn't fun at all, and the feul inside the filter was so dirty it was disgusting seamed like i should done that b4, but that wasn't the problem, so i switched the feul injectors from the 92 sohc to this 95 dohc and it still wouldn't fire but i saw after the feul filter and injectors that it was getting feul. so then i changed my perspectiong to the igintion. and i took off the disty cap and rotor and saw it was worn to s---, the rotor was hitting the inside plastic of the disty cap and the rotor had no life left and wires wern't all that great. so now i'm waiting till my dad gets home from work so that he can buy me new wires, cap and rotor, and i really hope that that will fix the problem.
conclusions are i dunno if its the disty cap rotor or wires,)forgot to mention i got bosch platinum 2 spark plugs during the head gasket swap) pls give me some ideas to find out what the could be...
brb gona go try to start the car now after its been sitting 24hr...
and darm wont start... tries but no... after those injectors and screwing with the plugs, wires, cap , rotor nada.... PLS HELP
i'm 80% sure its the disty cap and rotor with the wire but u can never take the chance so i came here for more help... thats what this place is for right;)
