Ac delco spark plugs 41 962
2017 Kia Forte engine randomly starts shaking. Especially while idling. I noticed when I turn up the AC the shaking decreases significantly and sometimes goes away. Diagnostic reads misfire on cylinder 2. Had spark plugs replaced twice with no positive results. As well as ignition coils and switch.

2023.06.01 16:10 CyanPhoenix7 I'm just exhausted
I'm on mobile so I'm sorry if there's any formatting issues.
I'm a 23 year old man who just needs to vent about some stuff. I've actually typed a few things up before to post here, but I never fully finished them. Maybe this one will be the same, I'm not sure yet.
I live with my mother (41) and brother (18). My mother is amazing, she's understanding, accepting, helps us out, and just generally is a good person. I want to stress that I'm not talking bad on her, I'm just frustrated with her circumstance right now.
My mother has been sick for about 4 years now. We weren't sure what it was for a while, but the closest thing we have to knowing is it's some form of chronic colitis. It comes at random for several days in a month, usually around her menstrual cycle, and it inflicts horrible abdominal pain on her. She also gets extreme nausea from it, and throws up anything she swallows; including water.
She has self learned to take hot showers when it hits. The experience is basically this:
She wakes up and begins throwing up. Usual bang on my wall or door to come help. Usually this happens anywhere around 2-8am. Thankfully I'm a light sleeper, but it still sucks if I only have an hour of sleep and have to deal with this. I get her ice water, she asks me to stand there outside the shower while she sits in the hot water, throwing up. The ice water helps her, but she can't really swallow it, she just holds it in her mouth for a bit before spitting it out. She needs me to refill the ice and water consistently, as well as emotionally comfort her, as she is going through what she basically describes as labor pains.
Have you ever thrown up multiple times in a row? It's not a fun experience. Now imagine throwing up literally 10-15 times in a row with nothing in your stomach. She does that. And since she wants me right there just in case, I get to listen to that, and smell that. It's gotten to the point that she got sick one time and I was literally eating my dinner while she was throwing up in the trash next to me. Our roommate who just moved in a few months ago looked at me like I was insane. But I had to get used to it at least somewhat.
Anyway, she'll shower from anywhere between 10 minutes to an hour, and then I have to get her to bed. She is sometimes so weak at this point that I have to hold the cup to her to drink, or put ice in her mouth for her. If we're lucky, she'll fall asleep and wake up feeling a bit better in a few hours. If we aren't lucky, she'll get up 5 minutes later to repeat the entire process all over again.
Keep in mind, 4 years of this, at least once a month for multiple days. Me and her haven't been able to hold jobs because of this. Any day meaning I have to dedicate the entire day to helping her means planning stuff is nearly impossible, and we are far too broke to pay someone to stay with her.
Now you may be asking about medical stuff. The answer is, I've had to call 911 for her several times due to her being dehydrated. She's had to have fluids given to her intravenously, and the pain has lead to many bad experiences at the hospital. Where I live, addicts are as common as road signs. Her getting pain treatment is like pulling teeth. Sometimes they recognize her issues and give her something, sometimes they refuse. Mom can be a baby with pain, so she's gotten into fights while sick with hospital staff over it on more than one occasion. I remember one time she was scared because they gave her fentanyl and I had to explain to her about how a hospital using fentanyl is safe and she'll be fine. Sometimes we can't even get her to the hospital because we have no car, and we have to rely on family to be available to give rides back from the hospital, or else she'd have to walk 20 min back home.
Our doctor still needs to follow up with her because her colitis diagnosis was given only a month or two ago. That's right, it took 4 years to get an answer to what this problem was. At first doctors thought it was her gallbladder, so she had it removed. Obviously, that wasn't it. I'm going to push her to meet with our doctor soon, things have just been so crazy here that we haven't had time.
Mom is also bipolar, and she needs to get on medication for that, which is another thing she needs to meet with the doctor about. We didn't have health insurance for many years but we have the resources now, so there's no excuse for it anymore. I have some form of anxiety I've been dealing with since middle school that went entirely untreated until this year, so I'm finally on meds for it. That becomes relevant in a moment.
Mom got sick again today, she hasn't been sick in a while so I was hoping it was calming down. She stopped most of her drinking recently so I was wondering if that was the issue. We are actually supposed to go to an open interview tomorrow to start working. This time however, she's scaring me far more. Mom has an issue where if she doesn't get enough sleep, she gets loopy and says things that she doesn't remember after she sleeps. Like one time when she insisted on eating some crackers while she was falling asleep standing up. She literally slumped her head and hit the cabinet and insisting she isn't falling asleep while I'm literally watching her do it.
It flares my anxiety up like nothing else, both of these things do. She's now sick, with that loopiness. Calling me bubby, referring to me as her friend Tori, asking me what her room tastes like, and then when I said I didn't know, she said "can you ask my name what it tastes like?" And I didn't even have a response to that. A cherry on top is when I noticed a cross sitting around the air freshener on the outlet on the wall.
I'm not a Christian, Mom is, but I'm more of someone that respects the idea of God, but I'm too logical to believe the Bible. I respect God and his followers, but I wouldn't call myself one. I went to grab the cross to say a prayer for Mom, but when I touched the cross, it shocked my hand good. I noticed the chain was resting on the actual plug of the air freshener, so I took a rag and grabbed the chain, but when I lifted it, I heard an electrical burst and saw the outlet spark. Boom, the bathroom lights disappear. Just my luck. Mom screams, asked me what happened, and I had to explain it a few times to her. I still need to figure out if the fuse just blew or what.
I'll help Mom whenever she needs, but the way she acts just kills me when she is sick. She'll scream out "My son!" while I'm right there. She'll say "help." and then give absolutely no instructions on what she needs. She'll speak very lowly where I can't hear her at all. She's now screaming the name of her friend while in the shower.
That's the background of why I'm writing this. This is just too much, it weighs on me. My anxiety is under control with my meds but I can feel it come back when this starts. I feel like I'd rather die than deal with this, and I feel horrible that I feel that way. I care about my Mom, and my family, but this is just so much to bear. My meds have a side effect of suicidal thoughts, and they only appear when dealing with this. I want to be a good son, but I can't keep doing this. When this cycle ends, I'm going to lay it out for her. She needs to call the doctor, and figure this sickness out, because I'm afraid. I'm afraid of what I might do if this stress continues. I'm afraid this sickness will take more of our life if we don't sort it out.
I know why she's procrastinated it, there's just so much crazy stuff that happens in our life, but we can't do it anymore. My brother can't handle it, that's why I've had to, but I'm reaching my own breaking point.
She's resting now, I'm sitting in the backyard praying she sleeps for a few hours. Now that I'm out here, I'm regaining my usual appreciation for life.
Thank you for reading, sorry it was so long.

2023.05.31 21:42 yairof Overheating issues
Please i would like to ask for some decent advice.
I have a honda crv ex 2008.
I have changed the following parts:
Water pump, alternator, battery, headlights, thermostat housing- twice in a span of 1 year, steering rack and pinion, break pads, rotors, calipers and spark plugs.
What I know needs to be done:
Bolt spring and donut gasket replaced.
The observations I've been able to make:
My car only overheats whenever it idles. The fans do not turn on unless i turn on the ac. If I put the car in park and step on the gas the temp starts to cool down. Without the ac on the temperature just cools down a bit when i step on the gas. With the ac on it cools down rapidly when i give it gas. It still overheats when the fans are on while idling.
Is this my thermostat housing again? I replaced it the first time in the summer of 2022 and then again in November of 2022.

2023.05.31 14:06 PacificCoastAuto Running super rich
Hi everyone, I don't usually ask for help with broken cars but this one is an expert-level problem
The car is running rich. It's easy to tell. I get about 30% lower fuel economy, the spark plugs turn sooty and black in all four of them, the O2 sensor is all sooty, and the power seems down about 15%. When the engine gets really hot, it backfires several times in a row. As of the last few months, it's having troubles revving over 3500rpm. I think I have a clogged catalytic converter.
I swapped a 1999 NB 1800cc engine into my 1991 NA 1600cc car and have been having problems ever since. This 1999 1800cc engine might have had this problem before swapping. I drove the donor car 300 km home. It ran on the highway fine but got terrible fuel economy (easily half of my 1600cc NA). The 1999 1800cc engine is completely stock and the NA 1600cc car was running perfectly, using the stock computer, and only has minor mods like air filter, exhaust (with standard cat). The 1600cc car is having problems only after the swap.
When doing this swap, the engine is just about the only part that is used from the 1800cc. We continue to use the computer, MAF, throttle body, alternator, coils, CAS, crank pulley, coolant temp sensor, etc from the NA 1600cc chassis.
Things I checked, replaced or have notes about -
Computer is fine (comes from NA 1600cc)
MAF with integrated air temp sensor comes from the NA 1600cc so should be fine - wiring was double checked for resistance
Wire harness is fine
No EGR on this car or the NB (Both Japanese models)
Fuel injectors were replaced with remanufactured ones
Fuel pump, lines, regulator, fuel rail all come from the NA 1600cc car (and were fine)
Timing didn't skip a tooth and I checked with a timing light (using the 1600cc short crank pulley physical marks and spinning the CAS)
Grounds were checked and are fine
O2 sensor was fine in the NA. I know I messed it up running like this
The catalytic converter was fine in the NA but I think I ruined it as well
The car has no heater, AC, or PS
Coolant temp sensor comes from the NA so it was fine. Though it's reading outside of the normal range (500ohm at cold and 1650ohm at hot - should be about 350ohm - 2500ohm)
Spark plugs were replaced with a colder plug by one number but the same plugs were fine in the 1600cc and didn't cause carbon buildup. I'm using a colder plug because the car is used for endurance racing in hot temperatures. I'm going back to OEM plugs to see
I don't know how to check engine codes because there is no functional gauge set with check engine light. I think I can read the flashes in the diagnostics box with a multimeter...?
Keep in mind, this engine most likely had the same problem when it was in the donor. Though I'm not ruling out this being my fault somehow.
What should I check next? I have not checked fuel pressure, compression, maybe some other things. I have ordered a new coolant temp sensor, O2 sensor (only one in this early model), spark plugs, and will be replacing the cat with a straight pipe (I would only consider this because it's a race car exclusively and is carried to the events). I'm considering changing the computer to a Megasquirt. Would doing so potentially fix the problem or would it be one more variable to worry about?
Again, thanks again for the help. I'm usually someone to figure things out myself but in this case, I'm running out of ideas. I really appreciate any help.

2023.05.31 04:20 Skilledpainter 2006 Silverado 2 wheel, 4.8, 1500
So I recently put in a rebuilt engine, has 68,000 miles now. Got it 999 dollars, I'm not trying to brag. Issue I'm having is that check engine light is blinking when I accelerate past 30 mph. I know I should not be driving it but it's my only transportation. Moreover, the codes it's giving me does not make sense. P0054 P0161 P0300
I changed the spark plug wires again, cuz one of em shocked me. Adjusted the exhaust manifold, cuz when I put engine in, it was a little off. Put new o2 sensors, put new MAF Put new plugs
Side note: I put a new blower motor for AC and connected it with some black tape or also some connector that you would use on residential project (idk if that matters) I installed the engine myself, but of course had someone help with actually taking and putting back in the engine with hoist. I'm not that much of a dumb ass, but if I want something done, I'll tackle it, but this truck is just becoming a nightmare. I just paid it off in hopes of saving money, but anyways i really appreciate any knowledge im given and God bless!.

2023.05.30 21:54 Meandphill My 2019 WRX build is done... For now
 | Alright so here is an update on my 2019 WRX Base. It was ETuned by Drunkmann Tuning and made 300 HP in Dallas Texas on Dotson Tunings Mustang Dyno on 93 pump gas submitted by Meandphill to WRX [link] [comments] -Whiteline grip series 1 springs and sway bars setup (I love it so far but am still playing with the adjustability. I will probably put it to the stiffest option and leave it there. I also discovered my front passenger strut was blown when swapping my springs so it's not entirely as it should be) -TSW Sebring wheels 18x9.5. +40 offset -Subaru STI short throw shifter with Perrin shift stop and bushings -Cobb accessport -Cobb Big SF intake -Cobb air oil separator (I called COBB for a replacement Y connector and was directed to AIG who sent me a replacement piece, The Cobb representative told me that it was mostly developed by AIG and Cobb paid for the rights to put their name on it. They are the exact same kit so that solves that. Both representatives were very easy to work with as well) -Grimmspeed 3 port boost control solenoid -NGK Spark plugs (I was advised against the One Step Colder plugs by Drunkmann for the FA engine) -Grimmspeed TMIC -Grimmspeed Charge Pipe -Grimmspeed GESI V2 catted J Pipe -Grimmspeed upgraded BPV (the audio between the two is very different, the stock one gives off a single blow off while the Grimmspeed gives the flutter) -Grimmspeed Pitch stop mount -Grimmspeed aluminum Turbo inlet -Perrin turbo sump restrictor Tomei UEL headers unwrapped. (I know of the decreases in efficiency and HP these have compared to aftermarket equal length headers. I opted for the sound for now since it's not a power build. When this engine gives up I will go for 500 hp and I will upgrade the block and internals and go Equal length headers but not until then) All parts were installed by me in my friends garage. ETuning was very easy and was made easier by Drunkmann and his videos on YouTube. My Etune was done in a few revisions and only took 2 days. Very quick turn around by Drunkmann even when he was traveling. 10/10 would recommend. Side note: has anyone had their AC compressor seize up on them? I took my car to a shop for an alignment and to see what was up with the AC since the summer is here and they hit me with a $2300 bill to repair the system citing the AC compressor being seized as the main problem. I find it hard to believe. I'm taking it to the dealership next week to get a second opinion and see about the possibility of warranty work since it's still under 36k miles. I know it's a long shot since of all of the above work done to it |

2023.05.30 19:53 Tossiousobviway Why are technicians treated as the scum of the Earth?
Direct question. Ive worked for several shops and dealerships and it all comes back to the technician being treated like a second class. At auto dealers, youre at fault for every "comeback" regardless if it's actually your fault or not. Changed spark plugs and now the AC conveniently doesnt work. In the truck side, youre always second to the drivers. Driver appreciation week every 6 months where they buy lunch for all the drivers but the techs can only have whats left over. Higher ups sitting in an office chair that has maybe set foot in a shop once in their life determining that since you can do a job in under book time that the book time can be cut down. I don't even understand how that decision can be made - were being paid for our knowledge to do the job under book time, that doesn't mean it should be cut.
What gives? Talking with an older guy in the shop said it used to not be this way, that mechanics were respected decently enough. Now it's like you're dirt. Literally like you are a lesser person because you're a tech. Ive been in it for 10 years and its really eroded me down. I don't enjoy what I do anymore. I mean, I do, just not as a professional. A vehicle has been to 4 other shops, no one can figure out the issue, comes to me and is figured out in an hour - no appreciation from anywhere, even a big F You because it was $100 more than they wanted.
Oh and junk pay to have $20k in tools and work in what is realistically a hazardous environment.
No wonder the industry cant find good workers.

2023.05.30 19:05 pastelrosepearl AITA for not wanting to mow a 2 acre yard with a small lawnmower?
So I live on a 2 acre property with my mom. A while ago, the riding mower we have stopped working because my mom left it out to the elements all winter (she's a hoarder so we had no room in the garage to put it). She refuses to get it repaired (she refuses to pay for a lot of things here, so a lot of things here remain broken). So instead, she bought a brand new self-propelled lawnmower to mow the lawn (around $500). It's not even a functional one! When we tried to mow it, it kept stalling because we either moved too fast or there was too much grass. Our yard consists of 2 acres, there are three buildings on the lot, the house, the garage, and the shed. The rest is all yard. My mother and I mowed the lawn with that mower and it took 3 days to mow because the mower is shit, but she refuses to return it. I've told her that the mower was trash and suggested she started to save up to fix the riding mower, and her response to that suggestion was, verbatim, "well why don't you pay for it?". Here's what makes me angry: my mother stays at my grandmother's for most of the month and that's a 45 minute drive. When my mom is away, she expects me to mow the ENTIRE lawn. All 2 acres. With that small shitty mower. If she leaves me with that, I refuse to do it unless she stays and helps. Am I the asshole here?
For context on why I won't pay for repairs: the reason I don't pay for repairs is because I can't. I already pay the electricity, the heat/AC, and the internet and whatever else we need. I'm on social security and only make 1.5k. I can't afford to repair anything. She, on the other hand, makes twice as much as me through social security and is also being paid by her old job (she is retired). The only things she pays for (as far as I know) are for her mortgage, her car, and her car insurance.
Update: I had the first guy look over it to diagnose and he suspects that it's the spark plugs and that a tune-up should help too and it shouldn't cost too much. So, I'm going to get in contact with another guy who fixes up lawn mowers to get that tune-up done. Thank you all so much for all the advice and support, I'm so glad I'm not the crazy one here.

2023.05.30 02:55 puffpuffwhat Need advice for cable management
I have a tiny car, think chevy spark or Honda fit. All my seats except the drivers have been removed, I've hand cut some cheap mdf boards for even surfacing, underneath of which I have a long extention cable that runs from the trunk door opening all the way up to the passenger floorboard, where it finally pokes back out from under the boards to connect to my now two jackery units.
From the jackery units I'm regularly running a fan, my speakers, multi USB hub, a main extention cord I keep the ac plugs clipped near my airbag, off of that I have another extention cable that runs along the passenger door side under my bed, mainly to allow me to be able to use my lamp with personal sentiment value from beside my bed.
I mostly just keep the rats nest stuffed in the passenger floor side, but with two jackerys now it's getting to be a lot, I'm unplugging one thing by accident trying to worm my fingers through the wire nest to plug another thing in
Obviously on a nice weather day I just need to take all the electronics out, and put them back in with some sense. I've considered different cable management tubes and ties I've seen but I just can't imagine it'd help much in an area 4 feet wide.
Relocate the second jackery? I've been contemplating installing actual outlets into my car interior, this is essentially a project car at this point anyway.

2023.05.29 18:10 throwpoo 2013 E350 okay to purchase?
 | Found a private seller near me selling for 9.5k. This is going to be a spare car. My dad is a huge fan of Mercedes and owned several benz before he passed away. He kept telling me to get one but I'm frugal so I only bought used Jap cars. It's more of a sentimental thing really since it's a childhood memory of the time I spent with him. Is this really a bad purchase and am I going to regret it when I have to spend tons to keep to running? Financially I'm doing well but as I said earlier I'm frugal and getting a Mercedes is not me. More of honoring my dad. submitted by throwpoo to mercedes_benz [link] [comments] |
2023.05.29 01:33 macinyash 2005 Camry cylinder misfire
Hi, I have a 05 Camry with 150k miles on it. It started to have rpm jumps (+/- 300 or so rpm) while driving and idle and more severe when the ac was on. I cleaned the throttle body and the mechanic I went to said the spark plugs are bad. He installed new spark plugs and the car seemed to work fine. There were still rpm jumps, but much less frequently and much less intense. I just went on a 600 mile drive and the original rpm problem returned. I checked for codes and I got p0304 engine code: cylinder 4 misfire. The spark plugs are a week old so I don’t know what else the can be. Any advice?

2023.05.27 23:39 jazzmint3 My Mini Cooper Went From Bad to Worse After Mechanic Worked On It...Am I Entitled to a Refund?
Dear Mechanics- I need your help!
The past month I have been dealing with a difficult car situation with a mechanic and I need some advice as to how to proceed.
I believe that my mechanic owes me a refund, but I wanted to get your advice, to see if it is warranted, and if I should take any other action.
The basic facts and history: I bought a used 2007 Mini Cooper (R56, Automatic, 153,000 miles) in February of this year from a private party seller (a friend of a family friend). I bought it for $2500 because it did have issues, and I had a tiny budget.
When I had the pre purchase inspection completed- the mechanic listed several parts of the car that needed attention, including:
Because of financial issues, I could not fix these things right away, unfortunately, and the car stopped running on April 20th. Fortunately, it was polite enough to die in my garage. (Yes, I understand that this part is my fault, but I truly was broke and was just trying to save up before I did the repairs- this is not what I’m asking about).
So, the pied piper had come calling, and so I had a mobile mechanic come out that weekend to diagnose the car and give me an estimate. The mechanic was referred to me by a close friend.
He was affordable, I was broke, and she said she trusted him, so I put down a deposit of $800 for him to get to work. This is the amount he said he needed for him to get started. (Yes, yes, I know this was probably my biggest mistake).
So, he hooked up my Mini to his scanner and the following codes were given:
Then when they scanned the computer again the code 2FD9. Which, from my understanding now, has to do with the computer system. They said that the car needed to be reprogrammed, so they sent out a different guy who was a car programmer. By the time he came out, my battery was dead.
He tried to do something with my key and reset it/ reprogram it, but it didn’t fix anything. And in the process, I think he erased my keep programming, and didn’t fix it because then my keep wouldn’t unlock the doors or work at all.
Then his computer was saying that there was a hardware error with the EWS/ DME. The programmer guy told me to look for the replacement DME on my own, and that was so crazy to me- I had no idea what I would be looking for.
By this point, my car had been in my garage for three weeks, and now it was worse than when I started with this mechanic. He and his partner were terribly unreliable, showing up hours later than expected, or not showing up at all, not responding to messages for days sometimes, and I was just absolutely done with them.
After the programming didn’t work, and I was told that it was a hardware error, I had the mechanic come back and put all the parts back in the car, and I told them I was done with them, and they still tried to convince me that they were waiting for parts, and so many excuses.
I told them I needed to take it somewhere else because they had held my car hostage for three weeks in my own garage. They were completely out of their depth, and I needed to take it to another mechanic who knew what they were doing.
They didn’t even give me a proper invoice or receipt. All he finally sent me after I asked for the receipt was a “Quote only” receipt from Oreilly’s for the parts he bought, but nothing about labor or hourly rates or anything. He did not prove to be sufficiently that he used my money well.
So I took it to a legit mechanic this time, and they confirmed that the DME needed to be replaced, and that it would cost almost 3K just for the part, and also told me about the major oil leak, and how the spark plug cavity was full of oil, which my mechanic never addressed with me. The other codes they couldn’t run because the computer was dead…
So basically, this past week I sold the Mini to a Salvage Yard because I don’t have enough money to be spending 3-4K on what is still an old Mini Cooper. So basically I need to start all over again.
Do you think that I am owed my money back by this mechanic?
