holy shIIIt?

[snipez]

i'm getting really sick of my car problems. someone has to have had similar problems before.

SPECS

3.3L V6
AUTO
NEW ALTERNATOR
RECENT TRANNY FLUSH (LIQUID IS FINE AND SO IS LEVEL)
NEW PLUGS
NEW WIRES
NEW BATTERY (I THINK ITS BROKEN, BECAUSE I TESTED THE GRAVITY OF ALL THE CELLS AND THEY HOVER AROUND AVERAGE TO LOW, AND ALL CELLS GIVE OFF A DIFFERENT READING WHICH ISN'T RIGHT)

#1 PROBLEM
car runs like shit when cold. engine is all loud and whurrring (that has to be a sign of something, it only happens when cold)

#2
the car revs up when I shift outta park (only when cold)

#3
rotten egg smell??? i thinks its the caddy convertor

#4
listening to the exhaust, the engine sounds sputtery, is that makes sense. Again, like its misfiring. But with new plugs and wires why would this problem exsist?? could it be battery related??? or maybe a coil????


#5
I plan to totally wreck the transmission and engine because its under warranty, lmao, any tips on doing that without being obious?


lil help would be nice

i would check the ignitor and coil. also make sure the distributor is still looking good.

Replace your plugs with new OEM ones.... check your ignition timing...

1: Does it do this after the engine warms up? My '88 Accord has an auto-choke that does that when it's cold.

2: Maybe the clutch is slipping? Don't know much about automatics.

3. Probably. At least that's all I can think of.

4. Possibly an exhaust leak or timing related. Check the plugs and wires first. I'd get OEM plugs and wires. If that doesn't fix it, could be the alternator or a coil perhaps...

5. Never change the oil and claim you forgot. And put it in reverse while doing 40mph. Claim your hand slipped... you meant to put it in overdrive.

if your car is under warranty why are you even bothering to fix it yourself, let them do it for you.


But your questions:

1. Most cars take longer to start when they are cold, if its taking longer while its a warm sunny day outside then you might have a problem.

2. Again after you shift from park, the motor should quickly rise then drop down to about 1000-1250rpms when its cold. If you shift from park after the car has warmed up it should just drop to around 750-900rpms.

3. Def cat convertor, very common problem.

4. Check to see if you didnt accidentally switch the position of 2 of your spark wires.

5. put car in neutral, rev to redline, drop into drive. floor it in reverse then slam into drive. go offroading through large amounts of water.
