Ok guys, i have been really having a hard time with my car. For the last year i have been trying to fix this bucking problem i have between 1.5 and 2.5 rpm. sometimes if it bucks enough, my engine will just shut off. Been trying for a year and a hlaf now, changed practically everything, well last weekend, we changed the cap and rotor, cleaned the opti, and there was moisture, put a new water pump, wires, and new gaskets, and it was great for a week, i thought my problem was gone, and now its back again. do you think i have a faulty opti? and need to replace the whole thing again??? freaking money pit!!! There are no codes coming up on the computer, i am about ready to get rid of it. please help!! i dont want to get rid of My Sexy Bi**ch!! Thanks! any suggestions will help!!

I feel you on so many levels.. it's not even funny.

 

coulb be a bad opti, chances are its not. make sure you have the wires going to the right place, also you said you replaced the water pump? im assuming that you changed it because it was leaking on to your opti. Make sure who ever put it in did it right and sealed it correctly. if its leaking on your opti again that would bring you problems back in a heartbeat... good luck

 

it was done right, very well actually, and there was moisture in my distributor, i am wondering if it got moisture in it again? freaking sucks!! no one wants to work on my car already as it is!!

 

Did you change your coil?

When my car bucked it was the coil.

 

no but we tested it and its still good

 

How's the fuel pressure looking? anyway to get it on scanning software to look at your o2's?

 

fuel pressure is good, and all my sensors are good, no codes at all in the computer, what i think it is, and it has to be, is my distributor is getting moisture, and i just replaced the cap and rotor, and cleaned the distributor out and it worked for a week and i think it has moisture in it again. i think its time to sell! anyone want a camaro!!!!

 

wires wires wires wires! I changed 3 times this year !! Look for arcing in pitch black area! I'm putting my money on it!
Goodluck keep us updated on the "money pit!"
