  • Car is running all funky

    So my car very resently has started to run all funny. When you first start it runs perfectly fine all good. Drive it for a bit and its ok but as soon as it starts to warm up completely it starts to miss and it misses untill you shut it off. Here's the funny part, if its warm and missing if you park shut it off for maybe a min say stop at 7-11 and get a pop come back out start it back up it will run good again. But again after driving for a few mins it will start to miss again and the miss does not go away. Ideas ? I'm clueless as what could be causing it. Coil is brand new, new plugs, and a new ICM are the most recent changes. But its been runing better with them for about 2-3 months its just recently just started running like this.

      What kind of coil? MSD Blaster by chance? Have you checked the o2s? Sounds like it's getting into closed loop and starts using the o2s when your misses happen.

            like others have mentioned, sounds like when it hits closed loop it doesn't like what the o2s are telling it. Maybe time to swap them out

                Running a OBD car in open loop is pointless. At that point you may as well throw a carb on it. Never understood why people do that. I agree, before replacing the o2s i would check there readings and make sure its not something else.
