Weird...

I went to a car wash today (one of the ones where you stay in your car and it is pushed through) and I get out of the wash and my car is running on 3 cylinders... I thought I hydrolocked or something. I was so scared... I took it on the main road and couldn't boost for shit and it was still running crappy. I pulled over and popped the hood to see if my filter was soaked or something and couldn't find anything... I went back into the car and started her up and it ran fine... I have a 91 Talon with a 4g63T motor in it. Motor has 30,000 on it. I was thinking the plug wires could have shorted out? Any ideas?

Sounds like the same thing that happened to me a few months ago. I ended up parking my car for a few days and when I got around to pulling my spark plugs one had corroded. Replaced all my of them and slapped on a new set of plug wires and it's been fine ever since.

Bad plug wires ftw

Lol. Bad plug wires would definately be ftl... Especially since I got my car YESTERDAY!!! But I know what you mean... Anyway, I talked to the original owner and he thinks the plugs and plug wires are from the original motor (166,000 miles on them). I am definately in need of plugs/wires. Thanks guys

Plug wires were the culprit. My car would also buck really bad at about 4000 RPM. I thought it was fuel cut, because I'm running about 15 lbs of bewst, but the wires stopped that and now she runs like a champ!!!!!! I <3 MY DSM!

DSM Tuners FTW!
