ok fist off my car surges its power trough second gear first is to quick to feel it second when im braking i have kind of like a squeak squeak squeak from the right side so could the rotors be bent and be related to the surging another thing is when im in low rmp my car sounds like a lawn mower and its really sluggish amnit:do you guys think i may have a car that was once chipped and is tuned for 91

Quick way to check...... pour some octane booster in and see how it runs.

 

[sgrcltpunk]

well ive got 89 in right now so i could do that im gess ill put some octaine booster and im at half a tank so ill fill the rest with 91 try that but what do you guys say about the other stuff

is it under hard acceleration? If so could you be spinning the tires and that could be traction control

 

[sgrcltpunk]

well i tried turning t/c off doesnt help so its not the t/c but yes its under WOT

 

[streethorse]

Have you changed the fuel filter...........

 

[sgrcltpunk]

no i haven't and since i only bought this car a year and a half ago aka 6000 miles ago lol dont know the last time it was changed

 

[streethorse]

You should go ahead and change it, to rule that out.

 

[sgrcltpunk]

ok ill try that

Could be an ignition problem also.

Fresh set of plugs wouldn't hurt. Depending on your year, replacing the plug wires would be a good idea also if it is a 96-98. If its a 99-04 you may have a bad coil pack or more.

If you change the spark plugs, do it on a COLD engine and do not overtourqe them.

spark plugs are brand new no codes
