Unknown problem (92 Mx-3) random no start

Post by trife86 »

Well my 92 1.6L been having some problems lately of sometimes it takes a few tries to start up. than randomly when driving it act's like it may be loosing spark / choking random rpm's random load's. It will act like that for giver or take 5 seconds than get back to normal... when it does it check engine light flashes but immediately goes off. So far ive changed plugs/wire's and i put a new fuel filter in because when it acts up like this i smelled alot of gas. makes me believe im loosing spark..... Any ideas?
