i was coming out of school, and my car just like bucked, and the check engine light came light on.....the car would hesitate when it would idle with my foot on the brake, and it would buck under moderate acelleration.....i thought it was something loose with my y pipe....but i guess not, i dunno what the problem could be?? help!

 

I tried to get help two days straight and didn't get a response. I am having a similar problem but the only code I have is 0201. My idle is normal my car only bucks in the morning when the engine is cold . I t happens while I am driving @ aorung 1500RPM's.


0201=Ignition signal primary circuit fault
0608=Cylinder #1 misfire detected
from what I have read this could mean a bad ignition coil
Go to the search function and you'll find ways to test your ignotion coils

So, you're saying that if search was used with nothing more than the 4 digit code(s) then immediate results would have been available with a full breakdown of the issue(s) and possible solutions rather than expecting to be waited upon like a King?

 

nah what i am saying is.. all i had to do was punch in 4 digit codes in that there search function and like wham.. kazzam .. boom.. the **** just appeared.. it was amazing.. it had all the **** i was looking fer.. and even other **** i could do to.. damn.. if i didn't do this.. i would have to wait around like i was the king or some ****..

ok my friend has a few extra coil packs lying around, so we'll swap one out and see if that does it.....also, i just had my y pipe installed last week, it couldnt have anything to do with this at all, could it?

 

Yes. It was a bad coil pack indeed. A friend came over, and he had a couple extra coil packs. We unplugged the connector from cylinder 1 with the car on, and the car was the same, unplugged it from cylinder 2, and it got worse, so we plugged that back in, swapped out the cylinder 1 coil pack, started it up, and it ran like a champ..

raced my friend have (97 se auto, cai,ypipe, b pipe), and showed him who the man was

 

cool.. glad to hear thing worked out for you..

 

ya thx for all the help also..
