Well this is why mechanics charge alot to fix a car

You need to do basics like

check fuel pressure
spark on all 4 cylinders
spark plugs
fix any check engine light that comes up

See my previous post about torque converter solenoid, worth a shot.

TORQUE CONVERTER SOLENOID HAHAHQ HAD F20B THROW CODE FOR THATW AS THREE WIRE MAIN COUNTER SHAFT SENSOR NOT TWO.

FUCK!!!

Okay, not my best widebuddy impression, but he is a hard act to follow.

That was pretty damn good, actually.

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #37 on:** September 11, 2009, 11:58:22 PM »

I succeed in failling I guess.

FYI, I think I'll be the first to successfully do a F20B automatic swap in an OBD2 car and not convert the car to OBD1 or manual trans.

So turns out it wasnt a cat problem, it was a squirl situation. Took the car out for a spin to get the engine warm and when I popped the hood the fucker was chilling under the intake arm and scared the fuck out of me. He was trying to keep out of the hail storm we had just had.

Swung by autozone and picked up some new plugs and seafoam. Pulled the plugs and they were ashy as fuck, obviously from running hot but from what? Coils are all kosher by the way and every injector is getting fuel. Maybe it is timing? Well Headers come in tomorrow and AFM on thursday. Taking it to AMCO on friday for a free trans check up. Hope it makes it there. Cars only doing 30 mph now on flat roads and 15 up hill.

Ashy isn't hot. Ashy is oil.

so, if the squirell had not made a home in your car untill recently when it hailed, why do you think it will fix a long term problem?

Conceptz-X · « **Reply #48 on:** September 14, 2009, 10:34:08 PM »

Timing, I doubt, they rarely jump, usuall make a hell of a chain noise before it happens

Hot is bare ceramic, no timing mark on the ground strap, top of the well discolored/rainbowed with really bad cases the first couple threads are discolored/rainbowed.
