trouble

[ryukkid]

So I was driving the otehr day on the freeway and my car starts to loose power I thought it was cause I was very low on gas but then today the same thing happen and I don't know what it is I was maybe a fuel problem ..things I change when I got the car spark plugs and wires fuel filter ..if the fuel is starting to go bad would that caused the problem ? any help would be good

Have you checked all obvious things? Legit question

 

[OGstackadoIIa]

Cap and rotor, maybe? Do you notice it get worse with the A/C on high?

 

[ryukkid]

The obvious would be ?
Yea I change the cap and rotor when I got the car

 

[hgocasca]

Throwing any codes? Is your o2 sensor still good? Good fuel pressure? Good and consistent spark? Good compression all across the board?

 

[hgocasca]

Any vacuum leaks? Any gunk in fuel tank/lines? Check all those and post with compression test results and anything that might be bad from the things I listed

 

[hgocasca]

Make sure your plugs are gapped correctly too, they say they're pregapped, but I've had issues with it being wrong before

doesnt have any o2 sensors by pass them..no check engine light on..i dont have the equipment to check fuel pressure or the compression

no vac leaks..would i have to take down the tank to check for gunk ?

yea their gap right ..but thanks for the help

Well an incorrect reading could cause that, I'd get the o2 hooked back up, and yes, you would drop the tank...are you obd0 or obd1?

 

[ryukkid]

oh i cc..obo ...my friend said it might almost be the Cadillac converter clog up

 

[hgocasca]

That's a possibility as well. Like I said, check the simple things. I totally forgot about that

 

[hidenplanvew]

cadiliac converter hahahaha thats so wrong

 

[hgocasca]

cadiliac converter hahahaha thats so wrong

The spelling or the diagnosis?

 

[ryukkid]

most likely the spelling ..my bad

I can't imagine why you don't have an O2 sensor. Did a tuner set your car up like that?
He said it was wrong because it is a "catalytic" converter, not a "Cadillac" converter.
