I need to start checking these things. THe car seems great except when I run it when it's cold. It seems to really bog at certain rpm's, but otherwise it seems to do fine once it's warmed up.

I am getting a code 12. I recently repaired a massive leak in the intake manifold gasket. It runs so much better now. I have also replaced all plugs, wires and cap/rotor. What could be giving me this code?

I say turbo it. You just can't get much out of the GE engines. Maybe intake and exhaust, but besides that it simply isn't worth it.

I just fixed it and it runs like new. It idles so quietly and smoothly now I can't even feel it running or hear it. It idles smoother than my girlfriends 2000 camry ;)

It ended up being a leaking intake manifold gasket.

I tested the water temp. sensor and it was good. I am only getting a code 12 now. I want to check the ignitor. I have NGK plugs with about 30k on them. New wires, cap and rotor. I actually did the fuel filter less than 1k miles ago.

It seems to bog/hesitate more at lower RPM's driving than it will higher.

No oil in the distributor. I am going to make sure that the spark plug valley isn't flooded or anything. All of the connectors look ok.

Ok here's the deal. Like I said I have regapped plugs (NKG plugs), new wires, new cap and rotor. I checked codes and got a code 12, 22 and 41. Here is a video of what is sounds like. Any ideas where to go from here? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reTFUJb20Oc Also if you listen at the end to...

I'm running 87. About to go pull the codes. I was getting a distributor code before and replaced the cap and rotor, but haven't checked since.

I also have a miss at idle. I replaced wires, cap and rotor. It seemed to go away briefly once I replaced the cap and rotor but is back about a week later. I plan on cleaning the injectors and checking the timing. Some nights I will punch it and it seems like I can feel it lagging and other...

+1...use a code reader or I think advance auto parts stores will pull the codes for free these days. I do not believe a BHG will cause the check engine light to come on.

a qt. over full? This isn't harmful in any way? Is this just to prevent rodknock?

clean all of the intake ports out. There tends to be a lot of carbon cake up in there. I usually just scrape it out with a screwdriver with a vacuum over the port. I'm talking about the little cover on the top with the 4 bolts as the following picture shows. Also I pull the EGR off every...

nice work man!

cool...I listen to these guys every week.

I had this same thing happen to me and it turned out not to be a bhg. There is a coolant line that runs up through the middle of the intake manifold that ruptured and sprayed everything on the driver's side with coolant. Had a lot of smoke also. The lady at the gas station I was stuck at thought...

the fear of falling from heights...large crowds and small places don't scared me I just get really pissed off. Also catheters. I had one used on me a few weeks ago. I really wake up at night from dreams I can't remember...probably has to do with the catheter.

most likely a vacuum leak somewhere i'd imagine...have you replaced any vacuum lines lately?
