my car keeps skipping when its running...i have a new fuel filter wires plugs cap roter coil fuel pump modigule

i have an exhaust leak

what could it be??

 

What do you mean by "skipping"? Many possible meanings.. Chugging, lurching, bucking, misfiring, etc.

Does it do it during acceleration? Any check engine lights? Does hard acceleration make the problem go away? Any cruise throttle/deceleration problems?

Gotta get specific bro!

 

I think he means missing. Put in a new pick up coil in the distriuator. Does your tach needle twich when going a constant speed.

 

here it gose ...no check engin light becouse i took the bulb out...now the car dose not skip at hard exceleration but dose have some trouble at slow exceration. now i have an exhast leak could that be fouling my plug up...or could it be something else. what's a pick up coil and what dose it do..? how much are they? are they hard to chang out?

thanks for your help chris

 

first of all, put your light back in. It tells you if something is wrong with the car.

 

my car just roled over to 190 thousand miles the damm thing is still running im happy my o2 sensor is not hooked up becouse the wire broke but sence the car ran fine a month ago i could give a **** about the "check engin light" i do not need that to tell me something is wrong.. you can hear how the motor is running..

 

Plug the light back in and check your codes..see if you get anything besides O2 sensor codes. Otherwise, you'll be running around in circles changing parts out trying to solve the problem when the solution MIGHT be right under your nose.

Pick up coil is down in the distributor somewhere..not sure where....I think mine on the Camaro was trashed, but the car never acted up...I just had no operating tach. Needle never went below, maybe, 5000 rpms...tapped the gas and it spiked past 7000. Friends of mine always laughed and yelled "She's gonna blow!"

Where is your exhaust leak at?

 

i might just put it on my dads snap on scanner the exhast leak is on the left bank back right at the head

 

Your exhaust leak is at the head??? Holy christ.. That's gotta be wreaking havoc with that cylinder...

 

more than likely....im to lazy to put a gasket in place becouse hopefully i will put my v8 in about 2 mounths...

 

Ok I had a brainfart earlier...it's not THAT bad, but it's not good! That thing must tick like crazy....

 

yea it is
