nbesheer Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Okay so some times when I drive my car will kinda be stupid from 2k to 3k RPM starting in 2nd and then getting better through the gears. Basically sometimes when accelerating in that RPM range it feels like I'm draging a trailer and then if I just punch it it will start to fade once I get into higher RPMs. Is this a miss in my engine ? I have Bosch Platnium +4 plugs, new wires, NO new cap and rotor (My dad didn't think I needed one and I have no idea what they do.) I am very new to cars if you couldn't tell. HAHA I forgot the engine... 1983 280ZX N/A, L28 other then i don't know what head or what not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFancypants Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Bosch Plat +4 are crappy plugs. Ditch em and buy NGK. - Greg - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleaf Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 First thing, toss the bosch platinums and put the proper NGK's in. Then I would inspect the cap and rotor for wear. It really could be a million things, without more info it's hard to diagnose. But I would do a general tune up. Replace plugs, wires , cap , rotor, fuel filter. Test Fuel pressure and set timing. Carefully inspect all the vacume lines for cracks/leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And autozone or Kragen should have the plugs right, just regular ones.. Well I'll reread the Bosch platnium 2 thread and see. So is there an order of importance on what I should replace beucase I can really only do 1 or 2 things a week. Crap I just remembered I have a phone bill to pay lol.

nbesheer Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 Okay Kragen has this http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail.aspx?mfrcode=NGK&mfrpartnumber=7133&parttype=960&ptset=A And this http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail.aspx?mfrcode=NGK&mfrpartnumber=6261&parttype=960&ptset=A I'm not sure what V-Power means, but ya'll said cheep NGK's work the best, and these are both $1.99 They also have Platnium And Iridium which I don't mind paying for if they will work better. EDIT: I just replaced the Fuel Filter, and the Fuel lines (rubber ones) which were cracked. THe fuel came out black which I doubt is good. So that's 2 down, I will drive it till next paycheck, hopefully it will be better. EDIT: I also just replaced the spark plugs with BPR6EY-11 and I noticed that all 6 of My Bosch Plat +4 are burnt and black and I've only had them for about 9,000 miles is that normal. I will get a picture on here later when I get access to a camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
