I believe my car is missing it used to just do it everynow and then and on the way home it started missed and now thats all its doing. Its an s13 sr. been in the car for a while now with no problems. Im just wondering anybody has an FSM and can tell me how to test parts like ignitor chip and coils. Also if anybody can tell me anything else it might be. the motor is still in factory form. Could coolant temps effect it? gauge reads normal but im not sure if its right. Thanks for any help

umm...yea, do you see what you wrote there? :duh: Anyway, I think Im having the same problem as you right know. Does it only happen under load, when you get on it real quick? My car started this last week, only in the morning, but know it is starting to become more apparent.

yeah im not good with words.

naw it just does it all the time idling, boosting. i checked my coils with one of those sparkplug like things you just set the gap and ground it. All of them fired so im guessing its fuel or timing. so maybe O2 sensor or temp sensor. ill try to check those out

hmmm...yea, I dunno. I dont want to point you any direction because Im really not sure. In my case, Im guessing ignition is the culprit. Good luck, when you fix it, post the problem.

Just got back from mothers day dinner. On the way home, it cut out three or four times when I got on it. Shits starting to become even more apparent. Guess its time to start spinnin wrenches. Anybody else ever experience a similar problem?
