WGONFAN -> 95 galants sputtering under accelaration (6/17/2004 10:12:50 AM)
|
Hey there,
I'm working on this girls 95 galant, with the 16 valve 4 cylinder in it. will doing a "tune up" (new belts, check plugs, change oil) she also mentioned that the car was shaking when ever she would try to "take off". I took the car for a test drive & sure enough when giving the car gas from a stand still it will putter along until it reaches about 15 or 20 mph, then it runs fine. If you are already under way & punch the gas it responds well. after further inspection I notice that the motor will "putter" even when out of gear & at idle it even seem to occaisionally miss. So I checked the plugs & wires - Good, I added some Tranny fluid & cheked the belts. I really don't know what else to check but would really like to get this fixed for her & make me look like a champ, hell I might even get some if I fixer her up good ;)
Lastly the car has 127k miles & never had a timing belt changed. I leaning towards timing belt myself
Any help is welcomed
oh, I also put some 'Seafoam' in her gas to help clean the fuel delivery system - no change.
Thanks,
THomas
