ok so i finally decided it was nice enough out (or enough snow melted anyways) to pull the car out for the weekend here.
it was fine for the first bit then it started losing power and becoming a little jerky.
on the way home the check engine light came on but it still did the exact same thing.
i listened/smelled under the hood and couldnt smell anything burning or anything else out of the ordinary. the exhaust sounds like i have a lumpy cam.. or the drivers side anyways.. haha
so i started pulling boots off the spark plugs then found a bit of coolant on one in #4 cylinder so decided to check them all.. #4,6,8 all had a bit of coolant around the plug in the hole there. so i pulled the plugs and cleaned them off.
then i pulled the injector connections off one at a time and idle changed on every one of them except #8 (drivers side rear)
it doesnt seem to care if #8 is connected or not.
would that be throwing a code if that were the case? what could it possibly be.. injector crapping out?
i dont have a multimeter to check the connection to see if its getting power or not but i'll probably borrow one from someone at work on monday if i can.
any other throughts on what else could be causing that.. or where the coolant could have came from?
the only mods right now is exhaust.. that rest is in my basement.
