HELLO ALL,
BEEN READING THROUGH THE THREADS TRYING TO FIND AN ANSWER. FOUND A FEW THINGS I THINK MIGHT HELP, BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD SEND MY QUESTION THROUGH ANYWAY. OK... MY 96' DISCO, HAS RECENTLY BEEN GIVING ME THE "POWER-IN POWER-OUT" EFFECT ON THE HIGHWAY OCCASIONALLY. USUALLY AROUND 70-80 MPH. PLUS......
ONCE IN A WHILE, AFTER THE VEHICLE RUNS FOR A WHILE, IF I WOULD TURN OFF THE TRUCK AND TRY TO RESTART IT, WITHIN 10-15 MINUTES IT WOULD NOT RESTART. BUT IF I LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES OR SO, IT WOULD COOL DOWN AND FIRE BACK UP AND RUN PERFECT. I SHOULD SAY THAT THIS ONLY HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE PAST THREE MONTHS. ALL OTHER TIMES SHE RAN PERFECT.
NOW YESTERDAY IT WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND THAT, AND DECIDED THAT MR. REDLIGHT IS A PERFECT TIME TO STALL ON ME. I TRIED RESTARTING; IF I WAITED 5 MINUTES, I WOULD GET A START THEN IT WOULD MISS LIKE CRAZY AND DIE. (ALL WITHIN 4 SECONDS). IF I WAITED 20 MINUTES, THEN SHE STARTED UP AND I WAS ABLE TO GET HER HOME. BUT, NOW I CAN'T GO ANYWHERE. AFTER THE INCIDENT, LATER THAT DAY I WENT ACROSS THE STREET TO THE GAS STATION AND SHE DIED IN FRONT OF THE PUMP. HAD TO WAIT TO GET HER HOME.
NEVER ONE TIME HAVE I THROWN A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I CHECKED MY FUEL PUMP AND I CAN HEAR IT KICK ON BY PUTTING MY HEAD TO THE TANK.
I CHECKED ALL CONNECTIONS IN PLUG WIRES. MY FIRST PLAN OF ATTACK IS NEW PLUGS AND WIRES, CAUSE I'M SURE IT NEEDS THEM. HOPEFULLY THAT WILL FIX MY PROBLEMS. IF NOT I'M THINKING FUEL FILTER AND BIGGER.
I DON'T KNOW, I HAVE TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE AND IM GETTING PLUGS/WIRES, 02 SENSORS, INJECTORS, FUEL PUMP, LOW BLINKER FLUID YOU NAME IT.
IM RULING OUT INJECTORS CAUSE I DON'T SMELL FUEL IN THE CABIN. 02 SENSORS, DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY GAS MILEAGE IS NOT AFFECTED, FUEL PUMP CAUSE I HEAR IT RUNNING. FUEL FILTER COULD BE, BUT I WOULD THINK I WOULD ALWAYS HAVE SOME TYPE OF PROBLEM, BUT I SHOULD CHANGE IT ANYWAY.
ANYWAY ANY ADVICE WOULD HELP. I'M THINKING OF BUYING THE CHEAP 30 DOLLAR BOSCH WIRES, SINCE I'M NOT SURE IF THATS MY PROBLEM. ARE THOSE OK? THANKS ALL!
