one thing after another so far this season

2 nights ago. trq. arm top bolt comes out

last night, heater hose below(red) cracks(yellow) and soaks every thing!!!!.



now the car starts a lil harder then befor. has to crank about 4 or 5 times more then it usualy did befor. it idles like it has a pretty lumpy cam..witch would be great if it did...but it dosent. its stock. give it any gas and it stumbles all the way upto the rpm you request..it will hold rpms but backfires and makes a really nice "puffing" noise out the exhaust. the cat reaks, and it has no power...whats the next thing i get to invest into ...

Optispark is the worst thing ever invented!!! You will probly have to end up replacing it.

+1 i would look into maby taking it (opti spark) apart to see if it got wet. maby it was about to give up and just quit when it got wet. if it did get wet.

Now that I think about it... I had that same problem that you are having. Car stumbling put it in gear and it sounds like shotguns going off under the car. If this sounds like something that you are experiencing, then it’s your opti spark. im almost certain that it will be. It’s not to hard to change out, keep us up dated on what you find man!
