Need some help! My car is running strange. i think it may be the fuel pump or coil pack, car spudders. Also, when i hit the gas in neutral (5 speed)it will spudder and pop alittle. Does someone know what this could be - is it possible it may just need a tune up? The engine light has been on and when this spuddering happens the light falshes...............any suggestions would be great! Thanks Kim

 

coil bad
flashing lt is a missfire
recomend changing all 4 and spark plugs

 

Thanks for your reply. However, I replaced the coil pack and spark plugs and car seemed fine for first 5 minutes and started acting up again..........engine light on again and spudder still happening. any other suggestions? Anything suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks
Kim

 

is it a v6

 

Yes it is V6 2.8...........thanks for your quick response!!!

 

how do the wires look
did the plugs have any carbon tracks down the ceramic
the plug wire ends could be burnt and have carbon bildup on them

 

I would look into having someone check your ignition system, or you may have a vacume problem

 

Problem #2 - no one can diagnois it because everytime they go to hook up that instrument, it's blank - no codes - NOTHING displays..........so nobodyhas been able to tell me where the problem is, ie..fuel, electric... but why would it not be able to give code back or display anything?

 

it is V6 2.8

 

Yes it is...............however, I fixed the issue (after alot of trouble shooting and money!)

After changing the coil pack and all 6 plugs it still was not running right - so I decided to invest another $125.00 in spark plug wires and it worked - it was telling me there was a misfire in cylinder 3 - engine light off and car is running fine now!

Thanks for the help!!! Kim
