Default Re: Any ideas?

I did mention that I fixed the P0135 code, but I didn't mention it in THIS thread. Nuts, sorry guys. Ok, I had all sorts of misfire codes as well as O2 codes. As it turns out, the O2 codes were not bad O2 sensors, it was that the O2s were seeing stuff that the PTCM did not like. THe real issue was bad plugs and/or plug wires.

I replaced all 12 plugs and plug wires, as well as the fuel filter/regulator. ALL codes went away and the car had the pep and power is SHOULD have. I guess plugs just dont' last, they only had something like 102,000 miles and ten years on them. I do not think the fuel filter/regulator had anything to do with it, but it was time for it anyway.

As to the plugs - The center electrodes were worn down like sharp pencil tips, just peaking out of the insulation.

I used this kit at the time: NeedsWings Performance Products. Ignition Kit m112
