Gap your plugs!!!! "4 ground plugs make my car run shitty." You made your own car run shitty. Takes 5-30 seconds a plug and costs a dollar. Make the part jockey do it if you're lazy.

 

I just thought I would throw this idea out there and see if anyone bites. All this changed when you chipped the car correct? And I am guessing everything was fine up to this point. The popping sounds like unburned fuel in the exhaust. Could there be a possibility that the chip is causing a rich condition at WOT? Backfiring is a timing issue. Still the spark problem could be an issue. For some reason the fuel is not igniting or there is too much and is not burning completely. Just my thoughts...

 

F*CK F*CK F*CK F*CK... This all just got alot more complicated.


Ok been drivng on it, and its been fine.. havent gone hard on the accelerating and its been ok.

But today, coming out of school.. accelerated to merge into traffic "POP" one loud pop out of the exhaust.. and it started sputtering and i rev'd it to keep it alive.. it returned to normal idle, I drove it home fine.. it idle'd when I got home normally and drove normally. Temperature gauge was normal. Everything seemed fine.. I turned it off. When i went to turn it back on, it turned over but died. I went to lunch, came home.. it turns ON.. NOW MY GAS LIGHT IS ON, COVERING THE TEMPERATURE. MY PHYSICAL GAS GAUGE IS AT EMPTY.

I PUT IN A FULL TANK OF GAS YESTERDAY. Now either its leaking, the ECU Is tripping out or someone actually siphon'd my gas from me and I am gonna murder someone. WHAT IS GOING ON?

 

thats weird. i would get a few gallons of gas and try putting it in, if it doesn't go in, your tank is full and you have a problem, if it all goes in, then someone stole your gas lol

and that loud pop was a backfire

 

Dude.. who in the name of sweet christ would steal gas? I will kill kids. What in the hell?!

I'll put some in for sure and figure this all out.

 

Ok just went and turned it back on.. it hesitates like a **** turning on.

Ok.. so, it reads 0 miles left on the tank of gas, fully empty.

But it ALSO tells me traction control is turned off... and pushing the ECS button or whatever, DOES NOT turn it back on.. its like its fully going "Off" or just "Off"

So I think my ECU Is tripping out.. I checked around my gas tank, and the little lock that it has is still there and in place.. so wtf? I locked it for sure, how could someone possibly steal my gas?! I don't believe it.

 

yeah if all that is happening your ecu might be tripping out. i would have it towed to the place you got chipped and have them reflash it

 

Yeah I'm waiting till the spark plugs get here and going from there.. this is such a mess. I cant believe it! What the heck[:@] I Don't wanna hurt this brand new engine.

 

Cincy get up in here!

 

Come on guys, this sh*t is urgent.
