Spark plug/wires question. Dunno if this is the right place to put it but I have noticed that only when it rains, my car when stopped, will start to jump a little. Kinda feels like I have a cam in it but I dont. One time the check engine light was flashing. I looked in the book and it said it may be a cylinder is down? It hasnt really done it that bad since but it does to it here and there. Any thoughts on why?
make sure you're plug wires are snapped all the way on. A flashing SES light means you are getting a misfire. WHen was the last time you changed your spark plugs? what about the wires? check it all out
A flashing SES means that there is the potential for the catalytic converters to be damaged. The misfire must be pretty bad. The best way to look at it is with a Tech 2 so you know what cylinder it is, then go from there. Or just try plugs and wires and see if that fixes it. There's a lot of things that can cause a misfire (fuel filter, plugs, wires, coil, etc...)
