I just posted a help thread in the Infiniti Online Mechanic thread, but if you have ever had your car drive real bad, after doing service on the engine, please help.

I replace the valve cover gasket on the passenger side, and now the car runs rough, and drives about as fast as a golf cart.

Everything is plugged back in, as far a I can tell (I checked 3 times).

I posted more details in the other Forum, but ther are more of you browsing this one.

Thanks!

I'm clueless on this one. Crapshoot: What if you unplug the battery overnight?

It seemed to be plug #6 coil pack. It was not fully connected.

I did a 20 second unplug.

Thanks. I'll drive it to work tomorrow, and let you know if it is back to normal.

Sweet as sugar.

The car always runs great after I clean the MAF & TB/Butterfly.

100 miles, and no problems.

Go figure....I just changed the gas filter...and cleaned the Throttle Body....the TB didn't look dirty... but now I am idling perfect in the 94Q...before, I had noted it was idling low.... now perfect...well maybe a bit high...725 in drive. I guess about 675-700 would be perfect....

I have never cleaned the TB in the 90...I think I may check it out this weekend...
