LT.Smoke Posted December 1, 2010 Report Posted December 1, 2010 I would check your plugs and catalytic converter 1st then look at the vacuum lines Sounds to me like a combo of clogged cat and fouled plugs Quote Team MaxRetribution Si Vis Pacem Parabellum Id rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6 Bowhunting- Life Begins and Ends at Full Draw Bowhunting Team Fatal Trajectory Hunt Team http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/49335-sick96vtecaccords-t-line-build/?hl=sick96vtecaccord << Accord Build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/68498-smokedout08impalas-tline-build/?hl=+sick96vtecaccord << Impala T-line build Rebassed.com for all your music needs 👌
Coolwazabi Posted December 4, 2010 Author Report Posted December 4, 2010 Well an update..... Tried the catalytic converter trick... and it sorta worked !! I only had limited drill bits and honestly not sure of the size of it "about the size of a BB". Although i did the oven mitt trick it didn't do anything different. It did start easier and drove better.. but when idling it didn't do any different. Car has a little more power, but when taking off from a dead stop it still stutters. Guess I will update once the catalytic converter is replaced. Quote
dyeagain15 Posted December 4, 2010 Report Posted December 4, 2010 Does it shake when you idle or give it gas? If so I'd say fouled plug, best to do a tune up at 100k anyways if it's never had one. Just my .02 good luck and hope it gets fixed Quote My F-150 Build (So Far) 2 DC L3 10's Kenwood KDC-X794 (4) Selenium ST200 (Highs) (2) RE X8 (Mids) Sundown Sub/Mid/High Amps Shuriken Batteries Knu Wiring My Feedback Thread

OH and she's totally not a certified mechanic or anything like that. and i'm getting a tune up for it... i read its due at 100k and i've had it since 60,xxx and haven't done it yet. Quote
