As some of you may know, I have had serious "ignition" problems with the car over the past few days... so I decided to go to Robert with his HPTuners program to see if we could identify the misfire.

Thanks to Robert (MRR23), I found out it was the Bank 2 sensor 1 O2 sensor that was out. That meant that the car thought it was extremely lean, so the car was throwing WAAAAYYY too much fuel at the right side cylinders, causing the spark to burn out, which caused the misfire.

So, again, THANKS ROBERT!!!

 

he is awesome

 

+1 for Robert.

He's hooked me up quite a few times.

 

Robert is a good guy!!

 

well, glad we got it all figured out today and it was something simple.

 

Yea, I couldn't believe it.

 

Thats awesome. Roberts the man. yes we know your wife says that to!

 

i wish she did

 

Hahah!

 

02 Sensors can cause alot of whacky things to happen. How long was it happening for and did you pull the plugs on that bank to see if they were roasted?

 

Glad you guys got it figured out Dana. It'll drive you nuts trying to figure some of these sorts of things out.

 

Robert is GOD!

Hey Robert I saw you at Winghouse today, couldn't get your attention but your car sounded good.

 

well, dang it. next time, i'll try to look around more. thanks for the compliment.

 

It was actually quite funny....

The O2 sensor was burned out, but what was really causing the misfire was a spark plug with NO gap. As it turns out, my mom was handing me spark plugs to put into the car, and she dropped one and didn't tell me. When I regapped it, the engine ran flawlessly.

Next time.... I'll be checking ALL of the gaps before putting them in

 

Yeah. Robert's a good dude.

 

good, yes. god, not yet....

 

Helped me out 13-14 months ago also.....alot..recommended the VINCI/CRANE Handheld Tuner.....great for then, and now, just what I needed.....great guy...thanx MAN...

 

thanks, i do what i can.

 

robert is a good man. he helped me out a few years ago at teh track. we switched nitrous bottles. not sure why. i think i was having a problem with mine.

 

you weren't getting a full pass and thought your bottle might be empty of nitrous, with your nitrogen push system. and i always carry two of them. not the big ones....
