I seem to have fixed all the other problems i was having except 1. I blew the head gaskets on my Z and it sat in the garage for about 2 months. Tore it apart and changed everything, now I have an issue when it runs for about a minute or so when i get on it, it bogs down and has terrible acceleration. I just changed the opti, coil, icm, oil pressure sender, new plugs. Engine light was on previously gave codes, 48 and 29. swapped out my MAS sensor... checked fuses and there was a bad one for the air pump, changed it and the ses light went off.... I am thinking a fuel filter needs replaced? I am at a loss here. It ran perfectly fine before i blew the gaskets. its a little rough at idle, but i had cut my cat off and ran 3" out the back to the flowmaster....

I'm driving down the road yesterday, and going through a intersection, get through it i'm in 3rd gear, 20mph, and my car starts to misfire, so i am like crap coil pack, i changed them all with new plugs maybe 1000 miles ago. Well I slow down so i can turn around and head back to my place slowly a mile away. and it never happens again. Now the car had just had the complete exhaust replaced last week, and literally only 9 miles put on the car before this happened. I drove 35 miles to work today, and roughly 50 miles last night after this and it has not happened anymore. Am i doomed for coil pack failure again?
View 6 RepliesFord Ranger / B-Series :: Idles Like Crap Up And Down With A/C On Or Off And Eventually Die
96 Ranger 2.3 5 speed, 2wd. 212k on the clock.
Bought this from my BIL last week. CEL was on so I ran the codes. replaced the air filter, cleaned the MAF (with CRC MAS cleaner), replaced the EGR solenoid (physically broken). The first code showed this was throwing the code. That code (p1409) went away but p0402 showed it's head. replaced the DPFE sensor, disconnected the battery for an hour and am now code free.
Now it idles like crap, up and down with A/C on or off to nearly dying and does eventually die. Disconnected the MAS and no change. Cleaned the AIC no change, replaced the AIC with no luck. Checked for any obvious vacuum leaks around items I messed with. Found nothing. With engine running I disconnected the vacuum to the EGR valve and idle smooths out. Feel a small vacuum tug from the hose, nothing at the valve.
Haven't changed the PCV or cleaned the throttle body. Could it be the EGR valve since removing the vacuum seemed to work?
Side note, BIL's mechanic told him THREE YEARS AGO the CEL was 'probably a O2 sensor' and that is doesn't do anything and no need to fix.
Still no codes and still no power. Can't hear any vacuum leaks. Bought new plugs and wires but haven't installed them yet. EGR? TPS?
Fort - ZX2 :: 1998 - Hard To Start And Runs Rough Through First Acceleration
I'm having a weird issue with my 1998 Ford ZX2. The car is very hard to start when cold and it runs extremely rough, but only through my first acceleration under load. In other words, I can rev the engine a few times while in neutral, and it will run very rough, and once I start driving, it runs really rough through my first acceleration, but then it smooths out and runs fine from then on until I stop it and let it call off for 30 minutes or more. If I restart it within 30 minutes or so, everything is fine, but any longer that that and the problem reappears.

I was driving my 2003 Passat 1.8T normally when all of a sudden I see "STOP" on my dash and my coolant light turned on. I pull over and see a bunch of white crap all over the engine cover. The temp gauge didn't go up however, so I drove it home. I am taking it to the dealer tomorrow. I am guessing it could be the water pump? Also there was white crap on the bottom of the hood which showed where it might have came from. I circled that area in the pic.

I have a leak on my Lexus, the car raises up normal my suspension work good but I hear the air leaking and the ride feels like crap.
Is there anywhere where I can get a diagram for the air ride system to see where all the air hoses go through.
I went under the car and I have a rough area where it is but if I could get a diagram it would be easier for me to see the hose I'm talking about and if possible would need part numbers along with the list.
Ford 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel :: Runs And Starts Perfect But Under Medium To Hard Acceleration It Bucks / Sputters
Starts good cold and hot. Taking off like a grandpa on an evening drive don't notice a thing. Only codes that keep coming up are 2614 and 2617 which are cmp and ckp open curcuit codes and a software incompatibility code for FICM which is due to the updated software in the fresh FICM I installed. HPO pressures are good, has boost, idles smooth, revs nice when in park. New injectors (cause it was running rough especially cold before) and CMP and CKP (because of the above codes and didn't change)and ICP and IPR (last 2 installed because of HPO codes that are gone now with the IPR and ICP). Fuel pressure is 65psi (updated spring). When you step on it while driving it sputters and bucks like it's out of fuel, let off the throttle a bit and it purrs like a kitten. I'm a little stumped. I think it puffs a little white/blue smoke while it bucks.. not much tho. and it comes in little puffs. Took off filler cap and there is almost no blow by.
View 6 RepliesSuburban :: 1999 Only Runs For An Hour At Highway Speeds
Ok so this is something I can't quite wrap my head around. I have a 1999 K1500 Suburban, 5.7L. I have only owned it a few months. The thing is, shortly after I got the truck, we took it out of town, where it died after a little over an hour of driving at highway speeds. I had punched the odometer to watch the gas mileage, and we had run it about 70 miles when it died. We got it to our friend's house, where we were headed anyway, and stayed over, planning to look at it in the morning because it was later than part stores stay open in our rural area. Thing is, in the morning it fired right up. So we headed home, and once again, after about another 70 miles, it shut down and refused to crank.
This time it happened as we were coming back into town, and on a hunch I said that something must be overheating for the problem not to be present until after an hour of road time. So we pushed it a safe distance off the road, and went and grabbed something to eat. After about an hour we made it back to the truck and success! It cranked back up and we made it the rest of the way home. Since I have driven it to town and back, and to my parents a few times, but never more than thirty or forty miles away. It never hesitates to crank, and sounds ok running. Although I will say, I have not owned a truck before or a V8, but it seems to not have the power it should (my thunderbird with a 3.8L had more punch), and I did noticed both times this happened that that problem seemed more pronounced right before it died. But I don't know if I just feel that way just because I am used to driving cars, and the truck is heavier. When it dies, you hear the starter relay click, and that's it.
Jeep - Cherokee :: 1999 - Runs Bad Until Stop Then Fine
My 1999 Jeep Cherokee, 4L inline 6, has a very weird problem. Usually, after starting, it runs well for around 10 seconds, during which time I back up and get ready to leave. Then when I switch to drive, it starts to run poorly, having no acceleration in speed or and very little in engine rpm, until I stop using the brakes. Exactly when the suspension relaxes, the idle returns to normal and it runs perfectly after that.
Sometimes the rough running starts while I'm backing up too. So I don't think it related to the transmission. But all I have to do is completely stop, and then it runs great from then on.
This doesn't happen every time, but probably 60-80% of the time. It's been happening for about 2 months now.
Mazda - Mx-5 :: 1999 - Runs Rough Like Hitting On 3 Cylinder Now Won't Start?
I bought a '99 MX-5 in the fall with 100000 miles on it. Most of the time it runs fine. But about every two weeks when I go to start it it will run real rough like its only hitting on three cylinders then will eventually smooth out after anywhere from 5 seconds to 2 minutes. But today it wouldn't start at all. Finally started just fine after trying for 15 min. My mechanic changed the EGR valve but it hasn't worked. The check engine lite stays on all the time but when it starts rough the lite will flash.

Been fighting a coolant issue on '02 F250 4x4 with 7.3. Truck runs hot when under load (ie towing, or ac running on a hot day going down the road). Will sit and idle all day with ac on high and 100 outside. I hear my fan at cold start as normal but that's the only time I hear it. Still has original water pump, fan clutch and radiator. I know all three could stand to be replaced with 340,000 on it. But can't afford to do it all at once.

My truck started running poorly with an intermittent miss about 6000 miles ago. The miss gets more consistent when the tank is below 1/2. Fill it up and the miss goes away. No codes, shop that does a lot of V10 camper work could not figure it out.
My guess is that the fuel pump is going out and it overheats when the tank is low. The problem is getting progressively worse. Now it misses slightly with 3/4 tank and even a full tank sometimes.
Plugs have been changed, fuel filter has been changed, and the shop found 3 COPs that were bad before all this new intermittent miss started. The truck runs ok at wide open throttle.
Am I just nursing a bad fuel pump that will leave me standed soon? Truck has 170,000 mile with original fuel pump.

View 4 RepliesFord Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Truck Won't Start But When It Does, Runs Perfect
So I just bought my first car, a 2003 F250 Super Duty with a 5.4 V8 gas engine with 150,000 miles that I will be using to tow my horse trailer. It has some things I need to fix. The main issue is that it wont start.
When I first went to look at it I tried jumping it, as the battery was dead and I still couldn't start it, though it was turning over. The previous owner then tried jumping it the next day, got it started and met me half way where I bought the truck. Turned it off where we met and it started right up again and I drove it home. It sat in my driveway overnight and then wouldn't start the next day, though it is turning over like before.
The battery is only a month old. There is another sensor issue where they had to disconnect the dash or the truck would randomly stop running. I believe it's the speed sensor? I received the repair reports from the dealer saying "code B1352 in memory for ignition key fault" and they removed an aftermarket remote start. "four U1027 and other U codes found, replaced crankshaft sensor".
Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Remote Start A/C Fan Runs Lowest?
I bought a 2016 F-250 Lariat, Crew Cab, Short Bed, 4X4, 6.2 a couple weeks ago. One thing I had to have was remote start. My truck was not manufactured with remote start so the dealer installed the Ford 1 way remote start system. The system works fine however the air conditioning fan runs on the lowest speed when remote starting until I put my key in the ignition at which time it reverts back to wherever it was set when I shut the truck down. The whole point of the remote start for me is to get a head start on the truck cooling off but with the fan on low when remote starting it defeats the purpose. How I can change the setting so that when I remote start the fan runs on high? Dealer is clueless and the settings in the truck only allow to turn the system on and off and run time duration.

I have a 2001 E-350 with 7.3 that will not start on its own. It is showing only 80psi ICP while cranking. It started with the aid of some starting fluid it will run at 550 psi ICP but the ICP duty cycle is running over 20%. We started with less than 10 psi while cranking and after a new IPR was installed it's now at 80 psi while cranking. There is good battery voltage oil is at correct level the HPOP is full. I just don't know what to look at next.

For over a year, the truck took 5-6 seconds of cranking to start, but always started. This morning it started, but shakes, coughs, and vibrates like hell. It revs up but still sounds like its hitting only on a few. replaced ciols many times over the years, but this sounds different.
