My car is starting to piss me off. Lately, its been throwing a CEL every other day for stupid stuff. Sometimes its a misfire on a random cylinder, sometime its a knock sensor malfunction. Usually, its a misfire.
Initially, I thought it was the plug wires. I had rallitek ones and recently cyl 3 has been misfiring often. I chalked it up to a bad batch or something and chucked them out (4 months after I got them...).
One day, I popped the hood while it was running to check the cable and when to make sure it was secured on the coil pack and got the shock of my life. After it shocked me, it ran perfect.
Now, I have a new coil pack (less than 2k miles on it), new plug wires (less than 100 miles on it) and it keeps on acting odd.
For example, Tuesday: I'll drive it to work, and its fine. Its not running odd, idling weird.. nothing. Its running perfect. No check engine light when I turn it off. I go to leave from work, start it up and the check engine light is on. Whatever, go to leave and hardly will go anywhere. After about 5 minutes, it starts running perfect again.
The CEL is bogging is not consistant. It will happen when its cold/hot/wet/dry. Any idea what it could be?
Incoherant rambling +1.
