Re: Engine Problems

If it jumped time it wouldnt run at all usualy and you'd hear some racket on the pass side of the engine, along with knocking if it was out of oil. Plus if it was out of oil your low oil light would hav been on , and usualy if its out of oil it'll shut the motor down.

Was the service engine light just "ON" or was it flashing ?
Flashing 90% of the time would be caused by a misfire.

When was the last plugs/boots changed(tune-up) ??
