Need Help Again...Car Acting up.....

Hey fellas,

I am pulling my hair out every damn time I drive my car. I have the mods that are in my sig, heads and cam etc. This morning I was driving my car, and the car kinda buckled, then the check engine light came on. I checked the plugs over the weekend, they are clean. I dont have a scanner, so I cant check the code. Off the top of your heads, what would a sudden loss of be caused by? I happens sometimes, not all the time....and for a split second, then the check engine light comes on. On another note, when I had my car dyno tuned, the mechanic changed my plugs prior to the car being dynoed. He burned 3 sparkplug wires so they were arching. Would this totally throw off the tune? I need some help tryingt o figure this out before I sell the car this summer...any advice is much appreciated!!!

hows that optispark doin? could be that. Possibly o2's but doubtful, since they generally wont cause a car to stumble. Best bet would be to get codes checked.

Opti was removed when the cam was installed but looked good. I am trying to see if I can get someone with a scanner. This sucks...

Re: Need Help Again...Car Acting up.....

well usually i am free at 8 but sometimes not.(in school, but usually on break) Weekends im usually never home. i dunno if ur a morning person but im usually at work at 7:45am, so i could scan it real quick before work starts at 8. If not, any wednesday at 10 pm would be the best time. I get out of class @ 10.
