Hey guys,
I'm new to this, but i figure real experience a good way to learn.
With that, this is my problem...
I got the car about a week ago used, and since then, it's been giving me hell. After buying the car, i flushed all oil, trans fluid. after running it for a bit, my CEL lights up. after going over all the basics, we found a clogged air filter, and worn-out sparks. after replacing them and reseting the battery the cel was gone. after a day of driving the cel lights up. at first i thought it was only a 02 sensor (since my old intrepid had that problem and i drove it till the breaks gave.) after a few more minutes, the CEL starts to flash, and my engine starts to rattle. as i would try to drive it to the side, when i'm giving gas, it was as it the car wasn't getting any gas. after pulling over, i reset the battery, cel was gone, and i drove it home asap. the next day my dad and i tried to look at the basics again. again cel is gone, and i'm on my way. a few hours later, the problem came back, only this time, the car died on me. any suggestions?
after this post, my dad and i will be replacing the 02 snsor and pcv valve. we wanted to replace the fule filter, but this is alot more different then a 1990 mx-6 gt turbo (i learned alot form that car)
please any thoughts or suggestions would be great. i don't want to bring this to canadian tire (like autozone) and be bringing it there for the rest of it's life...
thanks..
