Anyone else have this issue or tell me whats going on? On a side note, oil was changed recently, she has new platnum plugs, new wires, its in the right firing order, new belts etc, i take good car of this car. Someone help -------------------- 1996 Toyota Celica Project Mean Green

I power washed the engine and some water got into one of the spark plug wires. This cause the engine to lose spark on one of the cylinders. The car would run and idle fine but the sound was like a Subaru boxer engine. You can test the problem out by leaving your engine idling and removing the spark plug wires with the engine running. Becarefull not to shock yourself on the spark. If you can unplug a wire that does not change how the car is currently running you found the problem. You either have a dud spark plug wire, spark plug or distributor cap. Good luck and dont drive your car too much you risk destroying your catalytic converter. |
