is this a symptom of bad gas? i have already called the gas company and they have opened a claim but i wanted to make sure that this sounds right before i take it to the shop. any input would be greatly appreciated.

Did you check your coil packs? I know having multiple ones go at the same time would be odd - and i do not remember which packs go to which cylinders on the other side of the motor...

bad gas would misfire on all cylinders. all cylinders are getting the same fuel.

mileage on the rig....but you know what they say

Check:

Wires, Plugs, CLEAN MAF, General Tune-Up and get back with us....

well i found out that my wife hit the engine (while it was running) with high pressure at the car wash. i checked all of the weather connectors i could find and the only one with water in it was the TPS plug. i blew it out with canned air and unplugger the batteryto reset the codes. it still runns bad and has a cel.

damn! wouldnt you know.. i had the original 2001 Plug wires in it.. thanks for the tips guys. the only thing it hurt was my wallet. it is now $145 lighter. does that sound right for a set of plug wires?

You paid $145 for 3 wires? I hoped they used lube before they.....

gpcollen1

Did you install them or them? If it was you, I suppose the coil packs came with them??

ETRNL

nope i installed them myself.... 145 for 3 wires and 3 boots the wires were 55 and the boots were 22 a piece.. and that was the cheapest price/ highest quality i could find.. good thing they have a lifetime warranty. so like my brakes i will never have to buy them again..

Holy---145!!!! Dollars--Spark plugs.com you can get them for 26$ or 36$.

Where did you buy them?

ETRNL

WOW! i don't think I would be going back there anytime soon. shame you couldn't take them back and order the ones from somewhere else.. get some money back? maybe if you got the receipt.
