F**ked up car.... Video by The Jesus Of Suburbia - MySpace Video
That's a video to what my car is doing. I can't seem to figure it out. Instead of asking over and over, I've been combing the internet for literally weeks trying to find someone with the same problem. The tach jumps around a bit, and it seems like it missfire's like a crazy. I'm not the smartest when it comes to cars, I know a bit here and there. Enough to get a by...until now. I'm replacing my IACV because I know that's no good, and without it plugged in, should just give me a rough idle, not all this lol. The problem started about a month ago, was driving down the road, and when I went to give it a good amount of gas it started sputtering and missfiring for a second, then caught up to itself and got up and went. Now it goes crazy. The main questions I have would be: Could it be my distributor? If getting a new one for a SOHC ZC, a TD02U, or a TD18U would work right? Also, could it be bad grounds causing this? Say I hit a bump, knocked a ground loose, and when under load would cause this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Oh, HAHA, don't make fun of my silencer, I'm leaving it on for the REF...Oh, only code being thrown is a 14, IACV...new one coming on Thursday...Would have been today but damn Kragen sucks ass.
Ok. No one reads after the first post lol. Replaced the IACV and Distributor. That fixed the problems in the vid. Now my problem seems to be only when I accelerate. I try to give it about half throttle and it will buck and bog like crazy, let off the gas a little, and runs like normal. The idle sounds great though. So next I'm going to replace the fuel filter, MAYBE the pump, and the Main relay also, I don't hear it going everytime I go to start my car.
