Do you have any mods? Are you getting a CEL? If so what are they? Have you done a de-carbon cleaning? What other service has it had?
|
Compression check.
|
no mods and have not done de carbon cleaner.. how do i do it and only got check engine light... mechanic told me to reflash 6-1-06
|
I would try a can of Seafoam($8 Walmart) and add it to a half or quarter tank of gas and ring it out give it a few revs to the redline after it warms up. When I brought mine in with low compression they did a Zoom cleaning N/C. It says in the "TSB" it's covered till the 8yr-100K mile engine warranty runs out. Compression should be checked.
|
+1 on compression testing. Have it diagnosed.
|
i did three twice and seafoam do i put it in the fuel tank or the engine hose and it i put it on the engine hose do i apply seafoam when car is off and then turn it on
|
You can put it in the tank or you can follow the very helpful seafoam DIY in the DIY forum. Its a bit more involved than just "putting it in the engine hose" though.
|
Could be a CAT
|
compression check, and check the cat.
|
Look under the car after driving at night for a glowing catalytic convertor.
|
i straight piped it so there is no cat nd which way is the best to put seafoam thanks
|
If you can follow the "TSB" and use Seafoam in the place of the ZOOM cleaner. Or do like I said above..... add a can when your at a quarter tank and after it's warmed up good drive it like you stole it.

I'm suprised that Charles from BHR didn't mention the possibility. I put on the BHR fuel pump upgrade, and never had any more surges anywhere. |
