car acting shitty
 

So I let my brother drive my car ( 97 hatch w/ gsr swap) home from my buddies house. The next day it starts actin shitty. Its hard to start up, takes a lot of crankin to get it going. Seems to idle fine,but once you stomp the gas it falls on its face, and sputters and does not sound good at all :3 If you keep the gas pedal pressed down for like 2 seconds it will kill it. Any thoughts as to whats up w/ this bitch? I just got Rywire harness installed correctly, and have no CELs and now this happens... still no CELS

Possibly fuel pump going out

Re: car acting shitty
 

i just did a full tune up and forgot to readjust my dizzy, and had the same problems of it falling on its face. try that.

Re: car acting shitty
 

thanks guys. Ill try and check that ---- out this weekend. Off the top of my head... to check if fuel pump is going out, would i just be checking voltage on it at idle, WOT? :1

do the basic stuff tune up wise and ask what the hell he did

Re: car acting shitty
 

sounds timing related

Re: car acting shitty
 

I did that, and of course " I did nothing". In all reality i will never know if he raced it again, and just gonna lie to me ya know. I will try to check the timing this weekend, but ---- it. Im going fishing so not gonna try and worry about it. Could the spark plugs cause this to happen? Cause 2 days before started actin up I put in some pre-gapped Bosch plugs.

Pull the plugs and check them. I had a side electrode break off one of my Bosch plugs one time.
