well i started the car up and let it run for abut 15-20 min.....loooked under the hood ...reved it from the throttle body and saw no arching or light shows.
took it for a hard extensive drive....5-10 min or soo.....car ran perfect....in all rpm ranges
also get this smell form my exhaust but it might be from being brand new...cuz my other exhaust did it to for lieka week or two b4 it got broken in
im stumped....but im still changing my coil and ICM to c if it eve happens again....like i said this is a random occurance and its aggrivating me ....
if anybody has any opinons hit me lol
thanks
