Default Missing problem?

Alright it only happens after 2k, if riding and siting at a rpm for more then a couple secs it starts to miss/spudder and will continue but if you let off for a couple secs and give it gas it will be normal again until it sits at an rpm for a couple secs, seems to have no power up top either. Any ideas?

It always stays between 190-200, cel only light on, scanned it and got a purge valve code, o2 code which i took care of, and a charcoal box code. Its a 95 with a 6 bolt, removed balance shafts, bored, ported and polished, 14b, k&n, +5 timing. I was thinking boost leak, collapsing intercooler hose or bad coil but i dont know and dont wanna start just replacing parts...

Do a leak down test to find out if its a boost leak/intercooler problem. If not maybe you just need to replace your wires.

the wires would cause this by misfiring and not combusting the air/fuel mixture every revolution. They are a maintenance item anyways so might as well change them. For the boost tester you can build your own very cheap. Instructions are on http://www.vfaq.com/mods/ICtester.html. I hope this helps you man if not pm me back and we can try to figure this out. Good luck man

Good post brothers. I'm sure he missed it when I said it and then nofatchix also said it and showed him how to do it. Good thinking.

Thats pretty much exactly what's happening with my car. Although i havn't run it on a computer to check the code it's throwing, this sounds like the same thing. It starts misfiring/sputtering although its not just a couple seconds. And it goes way after resetting ECU.


Tell me what you find out.

Why dont you get a life and grow up all you do is come up with these stupid remarks you dont see notfatchix saying anything stupid like the remark you made because they are mature unlike you aight so unless you got something smart other than a stupid remark say dont say anything at all cause we just dont care.
