also forgot to say i did "the ol' screwdriver spark test", grounded to the valve cover and the spark is white-ish orange.
i know thats bad but what does that mean?
i know when you use a spark plug its supposed to be blue-ish. but idk about
the screwdriver color.
pls. i need my car asap.
thank you.

UPDATE:
just read the ecu and it reads the followinig:

Idle Air Control Valve (idk why it reads but its good and secure hoses are straight and no leaks)

Leaking injector (fakkk) HELP!

and exhaust sensor (i dont care about this one.)

maybe your flooding your cylinders with gas bc of a faulty o ring. how certain are you that you have fuel going to all your cylinders?

pull out your spark plugs and tell us what they look like or take pics of them.

umm_91 · 03-22-2010, 03:07 PM

well i did another spark test on a working spark plug and it was orange-ish white. and the spark plug was wet when it was removed so im certain theres fuel..
some people told me maybe its my ignition module or timing but i need more opinions. and i have an event coming up, i had to miss the "test and tune" day. drift event is this sunday. help?
