another 94 camaro z28 problem

[dj10410]

hey guys i recently had my car bogging out really bad and i found out that me cat converter was broke in half and stuck in the feed hole. i had that fixed and that took car of the bogging out. now it seems like when the car is running under normal heat it hesitates and like misses. i did have a burnt spark plug wire and i did not reaplace it i just put some stuff on it to cover the burnt part or the wire. can anyone help me!!!

You need to replace that wire.

[dj10410]

will that wire deffinetly cause it to do the things its doin?

[wrightz28]

If it's burned through. Plus you don't wanna mess around iwith it, a coil will throw all the juice it can can iat a resistance wich in this case the resistance would be trying to jump the cracked wire to ground. And it doesn't take much time of this to fry the coil..

You should get a misfire code tho.

[FormulaLT1]

OBD1=no missfire code.

[wrightz28]

I thought the hybrids threw a general misfire code. I know the OBD II are cylinder specefic like P0301 would be "Powertrain, misfire cylinder 1"

[FormulaLT1]

nope, no misfire code on hybrids F-bodys.

And there's the lesson of the day. Time for a beer

Thanks John

it burned through the outer layer of the wire but there is still the white stuff in the wire

[wrightz28]

Ecxaclty you have no insulation. Why bother trying to cheat around it, jsut get some new wires and route them away for the manifolds.

[dj10410]

whit out any instilation will that cause it to missfire or like hisitate during acceleration. And it want burning cause the mantifold it was burning off the headers.

[FormulaLT1]

Yes, the outer layer/silicone of the plug helps hold the spark energy in. Just get some wire insulators (like the one's Mr.Gaskets sells) with your new wires and call it a day.

[dj10410]

they r tellin me it will take 4.6 hours to put on the plugs and wires

[FormulaLT1]

Yeah, they really butt rape you on that at most shops. I have done it a million times on LT1's though, so if you want a hand in doing yours. I'm a hour and half away, We could get it done in about a hour or so (give or take a half an hour.)

[dj10410]

you have to change them under neath your car right? im just hoppen i didnt shot the coil because i drove it to school today. how would u know if u blew the coil? by the way ur a lot of help and thanx for the offer on helping
