Well my car is acting up today. Its making a ticking/knocking noise coming from the passenger side of the motor. And below 1100rpms the car starts to shake and stalls out. The car starts fine cold and doesnt show these symptoms until its warmed up. Also when i cranked the engine over it hesitated a little then backfired and started right up. I think this is fuel related as in its running really rich but i dunno.

Any ideas?

 

Why do you belive that its rich? And since when did you get bumped up to moderator?

 

he is the **** mod

 

Ive been for a year or so....glad to see you pay attention to me dave But i can smell gas fumes out the exhaust and the backfiring...

 

Well did you check your plugs yet?

Sorry btw it's not you. I just don't visit the **** section very often sorry.

 

I pulled the plugs and they were BLACK....but i dont know how to tell if they are fouled.



Oh and Dave....You had me at hello. HaH!

 

Well if they are black and wet then they are fouled. Put new plugs in it and see if the problem repeats itself.

 

Gotcha. Any ideas on the noise though?

 

the noise is probably related to the fuel/ignition problem

 

while the plugs are out getting cleaned you may want to listen for the 3 whooshes at each rotor. also reset the ecu after you check for codes.
