I've did a search and there seems to be two opinions of what to do about this problem I'm having with the SHO. Ok, here goes...
I try to start the car and nothing. I try a couple more times and sometimes nothing. Sometimes the car starts right up. Other times, I have to let it sit for awhile before trying to start it again. She cranks but just hard to start. Also, sometimes, she will start and start stuttering. The tach bounce's and it sounds like a heart beat from inside the car coming from the exhaust. I take her out for a spin and the tach returns to normal and the stuttering goes away. She runs strong then. Next thing I know, (after about 10-20 min of driving) she starts stuttering and it is really difficult to get her up to speed because the engine feels like it going to come through the dash. The tach drops to zero and there is no reading as I accelerate.
Now I've been reading on this site that some say that this behavior is caused most likely by the CID. Other say it is the CPS. I've read that it could be both or the coils. I've ruled out the coils since I've read that the tach will not completely fall off to zero and then after driving for a while come back to life. With the coils, the tach drops off by 1/3 for each failure of the three. Thus, it cannot be the coils. The waterpump does not leak and I've read that waterpump failure's are the #1 reason for CPS failure's. However, there have been some on this board who have just replaced the CPS and the problems went away.
Thus, I'm at a lost as to which one I should buy. I CID will only cost me about 33.00 from autozone. I can my CID replaced for total of 50.00. If it turns out to be my CPS, I'm going to need more money because this involves more work. I need your help because school starts back up on Wednesday. I need to get this problem solved by Tuesdays so that I can drive my daily drive of 60 miles a day.
Remember to take it easy on me. I did the search. :wave:
