Slow to Start

[skyluslondon]

no sir, happened making a right AND left turn. if i take the turn kind of slow and easy it's ok, just when i make a sharp or fast turn

I'd check the battery connections for cleanliness and tightness. From there I'd trace the main power supply wire to the starter, best is give it the good ol wiggle test while the motor is running at idle. There's also the main ground going back to the battery running along right (passenger) frame rail tat tends to be a source of misery. If all those check out then you have grounds on the back of each cylinder head, but I'm hesistant on them becasue if they were dirty/loose, you should loose the dash.

Another thing just occured to me is you have a remote coil on the puppy right? Check those wires as well.

Bottom line, something is loose most likey in the battery cable area somewhere

[skyluslondon]

thanks. i'll ask the shop i'm taking it to to check on that. man i love this car but its not loving me back. lol..thanks again

Another thing that just slapped me upside the head towards the battery being loose, if Midas was looking into the cooling fan problem, the cooling relay is right next to the battery and the easiest way to get to it is by removing the battery from the tray.

[wrightz28]

Taking it to a shop?

[skyluslondon]

after i check it myself yea. i'm no electrical worker to be honest. i'm taking it to a place that does only electrical though. no more midas or anything like that

[skyluslondon]

it was the ignition coil. *sigh*

The coil wire or the actual coil?

[skyluslondon]

the actual coil, i'm getting it replaced.
and you said the coil wire? why didn't you know it was the actual coil? God, you're useless wright.
lol, just kidding. wouldnt have found the problem without your help, thanks alot bro.

[wrightz28]

No prob, next time I'll try harder

[skyluslondon]

k so wright..or anyone else. try and answer this? same things happening again, i can't imagine it was just a faulty peice..is there something thats causing my ignition coil to go out? could overheating be doing it? thanks

[wrightz28]

A) how hot is getting, really?

B) refresh my memory, your coil is mounted over the valve cover right?

C) I still say there's a loose wire somewhere, check the wire form the coil to the distributer for connectivity, cracks, or burn marks.

1. honestly...the gauge gets into the red within 15 minutes. its a bit jumpy, so im not sure about the accuracy. i'll tell you how things go once i install the air dam(should be here today)
2. yep
but the overheating thing is killing me too, the only thing i havent really checked is the water pump/hoses. if thats not it, i can only assume its either the lack of air dam or the fans arent running full power. it's in the shop right now, so i'll let you know

[wrightz28]

If it's in the shop right now, have them verify the temp with a infrared thermometer. Did you take it back to the same shop that just replaced the coil?

[skyluslondon]

yes sir, same one. and..infrared thermometer? whats that, and whats it do?
