Last two times I've driven the car ('03 w/25k miles) I've noticed a considerable hesitation when releasing the clutch from a dead-stop, at speed it drive's okay but still seems like it's slower than normal. Engine sounds like it's might be missing on the driver's side, also noticing an occasional (very light) backfire pop in the driver's side exhaust & a very rich smell after it has fully warmed up.
I've checked all of the plug wires and they're fine. I'm leaning towards a coil pack or spark-plug maybe? No codes. Any ideas?
To me, it seems as if a plug isn't firing and I'm passing gas D lol) thru my exhaust. The car was recently in the shop for a broken header bolt on the same side, could it be possible that the exhaust leak fouled a plug? I have not removed any plugs yet.
mods:
Belanger headers, hi-flow cats, crossover delete, K&N intake, DC computer mod. Be advised that I'm running with cats but no O2 sensor wires. Long story short, the computer has been hardwired to believe that the O2 sensors are good as a result of several o2 sensor wire/header burn-thru's.
Being that it does have 25k miles I may go ahead and replace all of the plugs anyway. Does anyone recommend any specific brand or just go with another set of stockers? And at what gap?
