the end has come guys
Saturday, July 19, 2008 10:31 AM
well as of yesterday my car is junk. my motor puked on me. on the highway it starting having no power what so ever. so i get off and start reving the engine and it will only peak at 3400rpm after that it would sound like it is bogging. and i could not go faster than 50. so i let the motor cool down. take the plugs out and i noticed that 1 of the sparkplugs where broken. the white part had cracked. and it was all over the spark plug holes. so i was pulling thespark plug out and i saw a huge white piece sitting by the hole. so i did not want it to fall in there so i got a piece of gum to make it stick to it lol. well that plan did not work. it fell in the cylinder area lol. sure i was pissed but @!#$ it. so i tried airing it out but nothing would work. i poured alittle gas in there to get it lubracated. turned the motor over everything sounded fine. (with the plugs out) i put everything back together and turn the key and what do we have a bunch of ticking and banging and wont start.

ill mess with it some other day im pissed. looking for a new ride now lol.

well i know that did not have time and patience to pull the entire head off. the size was about the size of a pea. which is big enough to do some damage

alright guys i have been working on the car now. just alittle progress. ok the ticking and pinging went away i guys the sparkplug piece finnaly left lol. ok here are the problems now. i can start the car and it idles fine. ok when i give it gas slowly it will run fine. all the way up to 3500rpm sounds good. but when i reach 3800 it boggs and drops down about 300 rpm and starts to go back up and boggs at 3800 and repeats it self drops goes back up. thats at half throttle if i give it full throttle and boggs all the way down to 500 and almost dies if i dont tap the gas. what the hell lol. i replaced the coil packs, replaced the injectors, fuel rail. and spark plugs. what can be the problem. im thinking its starving for gas or getting to much. what do you guys think thanks

congrats man. I was going to suggest you replace your TPS sensor. It kinda sounded like that might have been the problem.
