So, having cleaned the oil pan and replaced the spark plugs, which cleared all codes mentioned in another thread...something was bound to happen.
Today I left from a camping/wheeling trip about 200 miles from home, and after ten miles (give or take), I began to have a severe loss of power and the engine started to miss. The miss sounds like a missing spark, and it sounds like it's coming from the back center area of my engine compartment. I know that the coil pack (for lack of a better phrase -- it's a 1996 so it's GEMS) is back there. I have brand-new spark plugs, and the original plug wires (108K)
Has anyone had this problem before? I literally can drive 59 mph without any problems -- shortly after hitting 60+ mph, it has the miss and loss of power. If the engine sits for a while it's fine again...as long as I don't exceed 59 mph.
Any suggestions?
