Lost a cylinder i think
I was drving and switched in to first and engaged at a low rpm. The car shook and chugged along. Im almost positive its a spark plug or spark plug wire, b/c it the exhasut smells really rich, which means it cant be the fuel injector or something to do with the fuel system. I was wondering if anyone has had this happen to them. Or if anyone has any suggestions, i am going to replace all the spark plugs tommarow.

Re: Lost a cylinder i think
In my 5k the engine wouldnt turn after a spark plug went bad. I got the 5cyl engine to run but very rough.. then it just wouldnt turn anymore.. Replaced the sparks and it ran fine. Except the puff of fire out my tail pipe from the fuel dumped in there had no problems with it anymore, untill the wonderfull steering rack died again.
If one of your knock sensors has gone bad it could cause the same symptoms. Check your timing, ISV and the usuall components.
