    Check Engine light on. Rough running engine. Need help!!

    I have checked to coil pack and made sure everything is in tight. The wires i have are about a year old and they are the NGK's. The timing should be fine but that is one thing i have not checked. However if it was a timing problem i would think it would run roughly all of the time. It is a...

So i had to separate them and i told the guy who sold it to...

    Check Engine light on. Rough running engine. Need help!!

    I have checked for boost leaks, as well as the wires, and all. When i say that runs rough it seems to be that there is an ignition problem with the car but all of the obvious little things that i can think of such as boost leaks or the spark plugs and wires. It is something that is setting off...

    Check Engine light on. Rough running engine. Need help!!

    Well from what i can tell it is throwing code 23 once again. It has all the same symptoms as it did before i changed the CAS. I can't figure out what else would cause it to throw that code. and why it runs fine when cold but once i warm it up then shut it down it will run rough when warmed up.

    Check Engine light on. Rough running engine. Need help!!

    I have a 90 1g fwd and for the past few weeks I have been trying to figure out why the car has been running rough and the check engine came on. I used an analog voltmeter to figure out the code and came out with 23. According to manuals that means it is the Cam Angle Sensor. I bought one from a...

    Rough running engine!!! Not sure what is wrong! Please help.

    How do i replace that sensor? Is it an easy process? Also does anyone know any links that i could look up that would help me replace this sensor. I believe it is just the sensor because when i unhook the battery then connect it back the car runs normally. Thank you for the help :thumb:

    Rough running engine!!! Not sure what is wrong! Please help.

    I disconnected my battery and left it for about 5 min and then reconnected then the check engine light went away and the car ran fine. I thought i may have fixed the problem but it turns out after a few drives it came back on and the engine began to run roughly. So i bought an analog voltmeter...

    from what i have understood is that using anti sieze is proper form really. not fully necessary but cannot hurt anything. and also i will need to put anti sieze on the bolts as well?
