Default Re: NA Misfires, shudders, stalls

My plugs came in yesterday, my crank sensor was supposed to be here today but I woke up 3 minutes after the post office closed.

I changed out the 6 plugs on the passenger side cylinders, and drove the car around a bit. No problems, no rough idling until I got on the main road, when the CEL came blinking and I turned the car around, where it stalled sideways in the middle of the highway. Started right up and drove a 1/2 mile home with no issues.

I'll change the other 6 plugs later, it seems the passenger side is supposed to be easy and it was tough without any ujoint socket extensions. First time I've ever changed plugs on a car though, good feeling buttoning the coil packs back up.

I might pull the TB off this afternoon to clean it up a little, might go invest in some seafoam too..

But for now I'm borrowing the company Smart car..joy

EDIT:: took the car out after looking at a few things, drove around town twice with no symptoms, third way around it started missing again. Like a valve isn't fully open when it should be.. You can hear the exhaust loud and clear as it should be, say around 3000 Rpms, then when it misses, it will suddenly silence, and pull back as if the throttle was dropped... Set my obd2 scanner to start recordinglive data when a DTC set, but it never set. I'm now 12 miles away enjoying Taco Bell while she cools off. Guess we'll see
