Run fine as long as i don't get on it. But when I step on it #5 burns out. I have checked the plug. Can't figure out what goin on. Good thing the store let me exchange it twice. Any suggestions?

 

short in ecu ? there is a thread on it somewhere, the search i tried for the last 20 mins to find it failed me.

 

think i need to replace the ecu?

 

you have to refer to that thread, i cant find it. maybe someone can find it and post it here.

 

ok i'm searching to

 

got a new coil in, reset the ecu(deperate trying anything) is the ecu hard to remove& the location.

 

You said you checked the plug. How did it look? How many miles and what kind/temp.?

 

the plug looked fine no build up no oil. sittin at 211k both highway and city miles, temp running right where it should be. I checked the coolant, way low added some drove it for about 5 miles. drove a lot better.

 

The car is running good. But a little afraid to step on it. Thinking about doin it today. Advance auto ran out of coils. Had go to Autozone and they don't exchange coils. Gonna try cleaning the MAF too. Got my fingers crossed.

 

Took the car up over 70mph. When i slowed down the coil died#5. Still trying to find the thread on the "short in the ecu". Any help will be greatly appreciated

 

this thread?

Nott sure but can someone tell me where the ecu is so that i can pull it.

 

it's on the right of where you step the gas. There should be a screw there and inside is the ecu if I recall correctly.

 

ok thanks. got my hands on one. do I have to get it reprogrammed or is it plug and play

 

Thats a similar thread but there was one specific to the coil itself melting and the cause was in the ecu i beleive.
