i recently change my spark plugs, but still having a problem.......... whenever i am on the lights sitting on red light my car seems to like choke/ like its going to die.......... any suggestions what i should be looking at to stop this

 

i would pull the plugs and check the gap, test ur coils, and also look for vaccum leaks

 

Did this happen prior to the new plugs?

Any misfire codes?

Did you search at all?

 

Check to make sure that there is no leak in your intake system after the MAF sensor. Maybe you have a loose connection, or one of the connectors has a hole in it.

 

does it only happen at lights/stop signs while in drive? does it happen in park or neutral? my friend's maxi is going through the same thing but only happens in drive at stop signs and lights...his transmission solenoids are bad =\

 

wouldnt hurt to clean the maf either

 

How did you come to the conclusion it was the solenoid pack?

90% chance it's just a coil or an injector.

 

I have the same issue.

Had a P1320 code which had to do with a cylinder 1 misfire. Bought 6 used packs from a 96. Replaced just cylinder 1. Car drove fine for two days. Replaced the other 5 today. Car runs much better, but still tries to die every now and then when at a light or in P, N, or D.

Plugs are new.

No P1320 code thus far, but it still tries to die.

I'll let you know if I find anything or it gets as bad as it did prior to installing the other 5 packs.

 

Whats your rpms in netural? and drive with the foot on the brake?

Could be your ECTS? doesnt always turn the CEL on or throw the code til its dead

 

im sure that it wasn't doing, i had a code 0606 misfire so i just changed all the plugs..... know im havin the problem..

would it that i didn't tighten/use enough torque to install the plugs

 

In my case RPM's are normal in neutral (750ish). In drive it's around 550 and then starts dipping towards 400-450.

My ECTS is brand new, coil packs are used from a 96 (supposedly 100% functional), spark plugs have less than 2k on them.

 

for me the car only dips.... when in drive mode i have an auto.... when in park no dips

 

Unlikely, unless you left them finger tight.

Have you tested the coils yet?

 

no i didnt test the coils.... how i do that?

i tested the coils they came out working fine.. anyone have any other idea to fix this problem

 

Are you still getting the misfire code after the plugs have been changed?
If so, chances are you have a coil pack s-l-o-w-l-y giving up.

Clean the throttle body and the IACV, that might help with you out a bit.

 

no more misfire code... im a rookie with engines is there a forum on cleaning the throttle body and IACV you know of

 

A forum just for cleaning TB/IACV?

Anyway, here are some DIYs that you could've searched for:

I had this problem just last week. The car wasnt throwing any codes becuase it wasnt happening often enough i guess. It'd only happen in drive or reverse while standing still...the RPM would dip a bit, and then it would catch itself and go back up. it was perfectly fine while driving.

The last coil pack I changed was cyl 3...so i swapped it again, and its been fine since.

 

Mine did the same thing after i changed my plugs. Then i replaced the fuel filter and EGR valve and no problems since

 

mine does it 2 when i put it in N....i have code p0705

 

What plugs did you install ?

 

i installed NKG

 

i found the dipping problem... i cleaned the throttle body and retighen all the airflow components and now its seems that the problem has stopped..


Thanks guys
