Weird WOT Problem

CanaryGT · Apr 20, 2009

So I am having a weird WOT problem. If I drive normal, my car is okay. When I push the pedal about WOT and WOT my car starts to not work so well. It kinda surges back and forth. My A/F gauge says that its okay, but something is seriously wrong. It throws the CEL light sometimes but it turns off almost as quick.

What the hell is going on.

narrow band or wide band A/F?

im thinking a mis-fire. it will trigger your MIL lamp.

check your cap and rotor, spark plugs, and clean your MAF... then report back to us :-D...

also... post some pix of that sexy beast will ya? ... i wanna see what the front looks like too!

And Ill clean my MAF. But how can I check about my misfires?

take off the top of your distributer and check where the connections are made. They get corrosion and you can just scrape it off with a screw driver or sandpaper.

while your taking apart your intake, might as well clean your IAT... it will rule one more thing out...

also, if you have a volt meter, check your spark plug wires.

finally, check your spark plugs, they should be tan colored... re-gap them.

id also clean your battery terminals if they are dirty. could also be your coil going out, but usually they just go out... they dont really cause problems until they are just dead.... at least with my experience.

dude, i looked at that link you posted...... . . .

holy effing shit...... your ride is AMAZING.... the 94-98 canary yellow is the VERY few cars that i like yellow... and yours is beyond sick... those lights and gauges set your car off like none-other...

sounds more like a MAF issue, mine did that when my MAF went out completely

I hope to shiz its not my MAF. Id rather sport for a new tune with wires ect.

Oh and thanks about the car. I actually just bought some new stuff for her. Paul sold me a Cobra R Hood.. :thumbsup:

my MAF was trashed and could function under normal load but when i tried to get on it it'd kind of stutter some and all so you might need to just clean yours

Well I cleaned the connection on the MAF, the two little filimint thingies and I also checked the connections of my plugs and wires. Just took her out for a test drive and...

It works! Oh and I seriously almost nailed a deer at 45mph. Good thing i gots the coilovers to dodge-em.

I told you lol... i tried my MAF and you should see how it acts when i drive it lol... just a lesson for me to install a check valve so that meth doesn't go into your pipe and fry your MAF.. oh well you know what they say about mistakes... just excuses to get something better lol..

glad that it just needed to be cleaned
