i did search, but the results do not help me.
okay, my car has recently over the last couple weeks just suddenly started running like shit. when the car is warm, it hesitates in the lower rpm range up to about 2500 - 3000 rpm, then i get mad vtax and it shoots off like nothings wrong, although the motor does still feel weaker than it normally is. this only happened intermittently at first, but now it's happening most of the time i drive the car. anyway here's a few things i've done
cleaned dizzy cap
replaced o2 sensor, rotor, spark plugs & leads (with used, but cleaned & knowingly good ones)
removed mitsubishi floor mats
checked coolant & oil, all appears to be fine, nothing mixed, no leaks
checked ecu for codes, not showing any
replaced ecu, still running the same
checked cam timing, appears to be where it should be
compression is good
firing order is correct
i haven't replaced the fuel filter, or injectors. I don't feel like doing that (yet)
cant afford new stuff, so I just have to use my known good used stuff. which is why nothing on the car is new lol
another odd thing is all 4 spark plug tubes where full of oil, so i pulled off the valve cover to see that 3 of the seals that go over the spark plug tubes between the valve cover & head somehow went missing?!?!?!?! i honestly don't know how that happened, cause i know i always install those when i put on a valve cover, but 3 where missing??? and they're not all mangled up in the valve train either. very random
what should i do next?
