Daddy! Finish my car NOW!!! Group: Members Posts: 1,593 Joined: 26-September 04 From: Garden Grove, CA Member No.: 2,831 |
Fired up the car today and it was running really rough. Skline came over and pulled the wires off 1 and 2 and there was no change. Its got hydraulic lifters, could it be they are all collapsed on the one side? It gets gas, and its got spark. I guess the next step would be compression check and pull the vavle cover to see if they are functioning? Any ideas???

Could be a dropped intake valve seat. Mine exhibited similar simptoms when that happened. If the intake valve seat drops and holds the valve open, then it can affect all of the other cylinders in a very wierd way. I could pull both plug wires from one side of the engine, and both fuel injector wires from the other side of the engine, and it still ran as crappy as when they were all plugged in. Hope it's not that, but a compression test will immediately tell you.
