OK, I need help. I was driving relatively low speed when I hear what sounds like a gear grinding, it was really quick and then gone, and then I lose power. It accelerates but seems to be firing only on two cylinders.
WHAT JUST HAPPENED? I am so bummed as i just got this car back running with the FI. Any one have a super cheap Engine close that I can get to install this weekend? |

Might not be the plugs or spark wires, but pull the plugs to be sure. Check ALL your wiring though, especially the wiring plugs to the injectors ... I've had them come loose on my wife's 1.7 a couple of times (they've wiggled out because she's missing the rubber boots).
Also you can check and clean (if needed) the trigger points. While you're in there, might want to check the following as well: Valves adjusted properly? Cap, rotor & plug wires OK?, Dizzy secured? Dwell angle? (if running points) .016" gap |
