93ls400walt Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Sounds like one of your coils. The one on the drivers side seems to go bad most often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexfourcam Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 awesome that makes perfect sense b/c i can hear the sound from the driver side exhaust and its kinda knockin a lil bit and it sounds like *BLEEP* to b honest but is this a hard fix or is it somethin i could do myself? and if someone could send me a link to someone with a similar problem id appreciate it thanks guys.

AzHotLS Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 This tutorial on Lexls.com goes into more detail than just the coil, but will give you an idea of what's involved to make the decision if you can handle it yourself or not: http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/ignition/sparkplugs.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don corleone Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 no engine code without CEL. didn't you just have your car fixed? what was done? sounds either directly or indirectly related. like something you fixed revealed another flaw or something was broke during repairs. what you could do is swap the dist caps and if the problems switch then you know it is the dist. you might wanna look under the hood with the car running to see if the header is red hot.

lexfourcam Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 the headers dont get turn red at all and i realized my car doesnt run rough until it warms up and it sits at a low 450 rpm and it bogs up and down. but when its cold it doesnt seem to missifre at all.
