Re: no power with rotten egg smell and coding p0300

I tested the coil packs tonight. One pack has no fire at all. One pack has a lot of fire, and one pack has a lot of fire on one wire and not as much on the other. Hopefully, replacing them will correct the problem?

Re: no power with rotten egg smell and coding p0300

what if it runs differently without the MAF sensor? also, what is the likelihood of it being the coil packs?

thanks

no power with rotten egg smell and coding p0300

Hi,

Today, from out of no warnings, my car started idling really bad and now it doesn't have much power :sad: it also smells like rotten eggs. From what I have read, it almost sounds like the catallactic converter is bad. If so, what is the factory warrany on them and what causes them to go bad?

I ...

Re: Battery

I see I can get it in on-line at at Advance for $137 and then they will give you $20 off if you order over $100, plus they will give you a $50 coupon towards a future purchase of $100 or more. That will bring my cost to $I17. I guess I willl go that route and use the $50 coupon to purchase one for ...

Tire pressure

got my tires rotated and rebalanced, the guy did not add pressure to the tires like the bill indicated, said that he increased pressure to 35 but found out once i got home the tires only had 30 and 31. will increasing the pressure to 35 affect the balancing?

thanks

Re: torque wheel nuts

i took the car for a drive and it handles really well. after i replaced the front rotors two weeks ago, the front wheels felt as if they had a slight wobble. i use a cross bar to tighten the lug nuts, probably too tight. after torquing them to specs, it feels as if that took care of the problem ...

Re: torque wheel nuts

can i loosen the wheels while the car is on the ground and them re-torque? or does the wheel have to be off the ground?

thanks
