Rx8 misfiring+ check engine light blinking
My engine light blinks when going up steep hills in third gear for long periods of time. Any suggestion what it might be?
|
It's a misfire.
|
I know... But what could cause it to only do it up hills
|
Engine load and tired ignition components. You could also have other engine issues or a clogged cat. The issue would have to be properly troubleshooted.
|
What kind of cat would be recommended to replace it with or what should I do if this is the case?
|
Your options would be an OEM cat, aftermarket cat, midpipe with cat delete
|
Get the front of the car up on blocks and disconnect the midpipe from the manifold.
Shine a flashlight into the midpipe. It'll either be clogged or not. If clogged gut it. Check coils and plugs. Replace if necessary. Go find that hill and try again. |
Misfires kill cats, bad cats kill engines.
There is a sticky dedicated to misfires, anything you need to know is in it. |
This is the thread that will help you solve your misfire problem. It really ought to be stickied in the newb forum as well as the troubleshooting forum.
