I have went all through the forum and I think I have read about this problem but lets see if I can get come help anyway...please have mercy im a nub lol

Well for a while when i got into high rpms engine would bog down and CEL would come on. Now Its having problems even driving... like it will bog down and sometimes even cut off... Also I have a warranty but i havent taken my car in for oil changes cuz i do it myself, is there anyway around that or any proof i can bring or make up...I mean ill only take it in if it isnt something simple to fix but please help if i need to take it in

If it the spark plugs anyone know where i can get a cheap set...

Please help thanks...

Get the CEL code pulled and we can help you otherwise we're just guessing.
Also what year is your car, how many miles, maintenance history, driving style, gas mileage?

pbmlewis

mileage is 50,000
2004
reg. maint. no problems other than a lil problem with transmission 3rd gear and maybe clutch problems,
i drive regular and race sometimes, but i can drive well
man. trans
code not read yet but will have that tom.. maybe but help as much as u can lol

im pretty good with cars but still new to it

DarkBrew

Well you're right in the zone for coils, plugs and wires but get the codes pulled first.
I bought my coils and plugs at www.finishlineperformance.com and my wires from www.racingbeat.com

pbmlewis

ok thanks ill post the codes and a update tom. thanks again

This would be my guess as well, the code is probably misfire. I had this happen on my miata, swapping plugs and wires did the trick. You don't want to drive it in this condition, it'll kill the cat.

oh and regarding the warranty, my dealer specifically said on the day I bought the car that it is not necessary to show proof of proper maintenance (so long as there's nothing obvious, like running on no oil). Donno if this can be generalized though, especially if you bought it used.

pbmlewis

thanks guys im going to buy the spark plugs today.

pbmlewis

alright i ordered spark plus both sets leading and trailing...

pbmlewis

ok got an update...
Got spark plugs and put them in today...now my car is running pretty good, but im putting new wires and coils in next week to make sure lol then taking it to shop once warranty kicks in... thanks for all the help guys
