skipping

[buckhoule]

i went to get some new tires for my car, but when i started it up it was skipping or something, took it down the road and opened it up, and up to about 4 grand it sounded like i was only running half the engine, but after that it was fine, i changed the plugs and am running injector cleaner at the moment, seemed to clear it up some, any one else have this problem or know what else could be wrong, i recently changed plug wires too.

Go back and check your plugs and wires.

If the problem started immediately after you worked on the plugs or wires, the wires are probably swapped. Most of us have done that.

Replacing the tires would not have caused this.

thanks for the advice, i doubled checked my wires, they are all right, anything else.......oh, about the tires i was just starting off on the story, hah, i know that wouldnt have done anything.....but any other advice on what it could be would be great

Did you clean the car up before you took it to get tires. And perhaps washed the engine?

 

[buckhoule]

i didnt clean the engine or even the car, this problem would happen sometimes when i started the car, then i would give it some gas and it would go away, but its getting alot worse, now it will take a good 15 minutes of running the car and it will clean out....i might have crap in the fuel filter, but where is it on the car?

under rear passanger door. Ignition might be weak as well
