Just got my car back on the road, shes been doing great until now. I know it has an exhaust leak, that is scheduled to be fixed on Monday(header gasket).
I let it idle for a while while I was picking up my new Nitto Tires-so it could be hesitating because of the heat soak, but when its under load it gets jerky and doesnt want to go. Ive put around 200miles on it within the last two days and its run flawlessly.
So I dont know what to think. I had a bad oil leak and the oil was getting on my drivers side O2 sensor- so that could be a problem but maybe not the problem. I could also have a clogged injector, which if not fixed could be fatal (right?)
I need to know right now if I should just get some new injectors-just in case.
I did just clean the engine bay and water could have gotten into my distributer-but if thats the case then why would it have run so well for the last two days and not today. I let it idle for a while and it hasnt had this problem yet. I cleaned the bay before those 200+miles.
The timing was just set by the shop Ive been bringing it to, so unless they didnt tighten it down enough-that shouldnt be the problem. The reason they were setting/checking it was because I told them I had some hesitation from between 1500-2400rpms. After they re-set it it drove better.
I need my car to work-and I reek of exhaust someone please help me out.
FFW is next weekend and if I have to, I need to start ordering parts to be overnighted to me right now!
