today i started my car and drove around and the car was not running right.
every time i get it to 4k rpm it will like hesitate and make a popping sound maybe my cat or y pipe is f***ed or my mass air flow is bad. i went out and got a new mass airflow and its still doing it. this sounds like the car is drowning and hesitating to get past 4k.

anyone help on this

 

is it a misfire like it sounds like? if so it could be time for spark plugs or a coil pack or something of the sort. thats the problem i had when cylinder 5 coil pack acted shady

 

Any codes throwing? I would check that first.

 

OBD II scan the sucka. It's a beautiful thing. Sounds like a possible cylinder misfire.

 

i just changed the plugs less than 5k ago. i would think its the coils, because its about time they got replaced and or they are just shieet because its a 96.
i think they tend to have coil problems right or wrong

 

'99's are the ones usually plagued with coil issues. '96 coils shouldn't give problems unless you have 150K+ miles on 'em. But a --cked injector isn't uncommon.

 

i also got some light i dont know what is that came on the day before all this happend. its this yellow light right next to my cel light, it looks like wiper fluid to me but i got plenty

 

sounds like a misfire to me, my car used to do the same thing. i replaced the coils and the spark plugs, it was a misfire in my 5th cylinder. try replacing the coils it might help

 

if it was a missfire his cel would flash on and off warning the driver of a missfire and that posible cat damage may occur... would it not?

 

thanks guys i found out the problem was #6 coil was bad and i replaced them with my parts car and they worked fine.

 

told ya it was the coil pack
