[kevingotashotoo]

just installed new plug wires

car was running find after in istalled them ran better than before with my cracked wires...anyways got in my car this morning and its running rough,really really rough,i dont have any power whats so ever..it makes a popping sound and backfires

i dont know if i might have a bad vacuum leak after removing the intake,i removed the intake today,and cleaned up the gasket(when i removed my intake my engine was warm)

got some codes..114,519,113,219,156

this problem really boggles my mind,dont flame me but im about ready to roll my sho off a cliff,,,someone please help im loosing my mind

also what is the coil pack order for my plug wires

my car was running good after installation

I bet your wires are on wrong... well that would be my first guess.

Thats the correct order

Thats the correct order

did a double check,plug wires are in proper order
could a vacuum leak be my problem

could be lots of things. Are teh plug wells dry? or are they full of oil.

Inspect your new wires and make ABSOLUTE sure you didn't tear the insulation around any of the wires while installnig them.

Be sure to check the ground point on the back of the intake manifold. The rear support bracket is actually the ground point for the DIS module, so make sure the crossover tube is secure and the rear left support bracket has the ground properly attached.

If you have a guage, be sure to check your fuel pressure. Could be a completely unrelated issue that happened to pop up at this time.

hmmm,by rear support do you mean that 19mm bolt that has the wire to it from the fire wall?,cause i have that grounded the the srut bracket,

my wires are in good shape, car did run fine after i installed them

 

[SolidState]

yes, that wire. Is that where it is supposed to be grounded?

Testing IGN GND:

Make sure the crossover tube that the DIS is mounted to has clean mounting surfaces and is securely bolted down. This is also part of the ignition ground system in addition to the heavy strap and stud at the #1 cylinder. The strap should mount to its stud on the firewall completing its ground path. Make certain that BOTH lower DIS module mounting screws are correctly installed.

Testing IGN GND:

Ignition off. With an ohmmeter, measure from the lowest pin on the forward-facing DIS connector to the battery's negative post. You should have as close to zero ohms as possible. The service manual allows up to five ohms, but I'd shoot for less than one ohm.

thanks steve for clarifying....that is what I was getting at in my above post

cheers

no

 

[kevingotashotoo]

could that be my problem,im gonna be doing it tommorow

 

[kevingotashotoo]

just finished properly connecting the ground.car still runs like crap

could it be my o2 censors,had oil in the plug wells,removed as much oil as icould with a rag,took out the spark plugs,started the car and let it burn out,did smell some smoke when i first started,however the car did run fine until the next morning..just wondering if my o2 censors are caked with soot

 

[jedhead]

Did you replace the sparkplug wires that were most likely damaged while immersed in the oil?

come to the conclusion a coil pack failure?,engine is missing
