My car has a miss.

[96stallionGT]

When i put gas in my car, a few miles down the road it will miss at steady throttle, but when i mash it it quits. Sometimes it will do it again later on but not always. It has a new fuel filter on it but i was thinking injectors or maybe needing a tune up. Im new to the site and not good with comp. so hopefully im doing this right. Does anyone have any ideas???

When was the last time you did a full tune up on your car?

Ive only had the car five months and ive never done one. The guy said before i bought it, that it had a miss but it was just a plug wire. Its been doing this for about a month.

Also, i only have two O2 sensors due to the o/r x pipe and one of them are broke.

Uhm..a busted 02 sensor will do that....

Fix your plug wire, replace your o2('s).

You throwing any check engine lights?

 

[96stallionGT]

The guy fixed the plug wire a few days before i got it. It run like a top till just here lately. The check engine light stays on but i just thought it was because of not haveing all the O2's. It runs great except for the few seconds it does that.

Whats the code read?

 

[duff daddy]

is this an auto or a stick car?

 

[96stallionGT]

I havent had the codes read and it is a stick.

Replace the o2 sensor that is broken and new install wires and plugs.

 

[96stallionGT]

I'll try that, thanks. So u dont think maybe a bad injector? I know anything's possible.

 

[uncltrvlnmatt]

Remember the acronym KISS- Keep It Simple Stupid (Not calling you stupid) You know you have a bad o2 sensor, and it could probably use a tune-up since you know it had/has a bad plug wire. Start there, if you still have a problem after that look a little bit deeper.

 

[96stallionGT]

Good Point. Thanks

I'd do a complete tune up.
Plugs
Wires
Coil Packs
02 sensors
Fuel Filter
Clean MAF
Clean IAC
Clean or Replace Air Filter.

Anything i missed guys?

Well i figured out i had a o2sen. unplugged(which is the only good one) so i plugged it up and its not done it sents.(knock on wood). Thanks for all the help.

I would still take the time to at least look at your plugs, even better just replace them since they are cheap

 

[96stallionGT]

I'm just gonna give it a full tune up in a few days plus new o2's.
