So tonight we put in some new ac delco plugs and wires...fail...swapped coils for ones from a truck...fail...different maf...fail...tried to swap a new computer but it was from an auto truck so it had a green connector instead of blue or red...can't remember which...

sounds like my issue. I am thinking I have to check rockers this weekend. havent yet swapped coils yet. Are all of your primary tubes hot?

o2camaross

iTrader: (2)

no, about 4 get hot, two get warm, and two stay cold

huggmess

the front 2 are hot on each side and the back 2 seem to be cold....it's the damnest thing ever...

Mine is doing the same thing. I won't be able to tell you my problem until this weekend but I am guessing its collapsed lifters or the rocker arms are loose or something

o2camaross

hmm, ok i guess we can pull the valve covers and check the rockers

huggmess

Did you get to check the lifters and rockers?

I found out yesterday mine was a bad injector. didnt pull the valve cover yet. Check your oil I had about a quart of gas in mine. hope the rings and bearings are still good.

huggmess

how did you determine it was a bad injector?

I left the injectors hooked to the fuel rail and placed a water bottle under each injector and then turned the fuel pump on by turning the key on and the bad one flowed out about 4oz.

so it was only missing on that one cylinder?

smokinponcho73

iTrader: (6)

No it was missing on two cylinders but number 7 I think was the connection. atleast I hope.

huggmess

so that injector was flowing too much or too little??? What were the others flowing?

smokinponcho73

iTrader: (6)

The injector wouldnt stop flowing. It leaked straight through.

huggmess

oh damn

huggmess

any more news on your car?

huggmess

So I take the car to the shop and the mechanic thinks it might be a "driver" in the pcm that maybe controls a common circuit to my problem...I'll try to let you guys know what it is

huggmess

turns out the next day they hook it up to the diagnostics and bang all hell breaks loose....come to find out a valvespring broke...somehow it didn't get all in the piston and I'm driving it today...new dual springs on the way as soon as i'm married the 30th.
