So I went to this guys house (Amsoil Dealer) to pick up some Power Foam (Nashville people, I got the hook up), and on the way there I felt a few misses, along with small pulses pulling me back. Leaving the guys house, I felt it BIG time... it wouldnt let me rev it past 2K, and this time it was big pulses pulling me back. I thought, "****, I probably blew a rotor!" (never blown a rotor before, so I don't know what that should feel like, and this was definitely something I never felt before). So I pulled the car back to this guys driveway, pop the hood for a quick superficial overview (belts and such), nothing wrong. Made phone call and all, my neighbor was already on her way to pick me up when I decide to pop the hood again, and the guy (~85 year old dude, btw) asks, "what's that wire over there that is not hooked up?"

...who wants to take a 'wild' guess?

 

ECU Ground?

 

ignitor?

 

Spark Plug?

I had that on an old S-10 once. DOH.

 

No. but it's as simple as either of the 3 mentioned above!

 

Cloged Fuel Filter...

 

battery cable not on properly?

 

wire that supplys +12v to the leading coil?

 

ahh i'm in suspense! what was it!?

 

Oops I guess I should have read the whole post first...

Did not see the bit about the loose wire...

 

Wire from leading coil to distributor cap?

 

Ignitor wire for $200 Alex.

 

TPS connector!!

I had been messing around with it the day before... I'm sure I hooked it back up, but probably not all the way... must have unhooked itself with the vibration or something. Either way, I felt like a complete idiot.

 

Lol... never would have guessed... seeing as I don't have an -SE! :P
