Ok here we go....my car is i dont know the technical term but "sputtering" real bad while driving and the rpm needle keeps twithing.

I took the car in about two months ago and got the spark plug wires replaced...fixed the sputtering but not the guage...but for only a few days.

Then i took it in two weeks ago and got the cap and rotor replaced...same thing fixed sputtering ..not the guage..for only a few days.....Whats going on???? This all started two days i got my radio installed...even though i dought its even remotely related...could something electrical or in the computer be getting fried up?????

Please help its my daily driver!!!!!!!

 

okay so:

you took it in to get the plug wires replaced? why didnt you do it yourself, it doesnt even take tools to replace your plug wires lol.

The cap and rotor takes a screwdriver, you coulda done that yourself too heh

question : did you replace the spark plugs as well? If not then you should, that'll more than likely be your culprit. If not then I'd have your ignition module tested.

I doubt that it had anything to do with your radio being installed... coincidence more than likely.

oh and just out of curiosity, how much did they charge you to do the plug wires, and cap and rotor?

 

i just had the plugs replaced....60 bux for wires and 200 smackers for cap and rotor !!! ....How do i test the ignition module????

 

i really hope your kidding here....

thats rediculous to pay that much to change something that would only take you 10 min to do all of it ..LOL

 

My money's on the ignition module.

 

Other posts say something about a pickup coil and how it works with the ignition module..should i replace that while im at it and how much will the two parts cost????
