Sometimes when I drive the sr it acts like the ignition is dropping one or two or all cylinders. It starts and drives daily but cruising in town at 30mph or after driving awhile and starting it back up it seems to misfire? When this happens the car jerks violently. I think the problem is heat related because it wont do it when the engine bay is cool. Almost acts like the intercooler piping popped off. Any helpful advice would be appreciated.
The problem occured even before the ecu was tuned.
It has the Q45 ignitor
Need to get a new maf because the one on it has been siliconed but has always worked.
:cry:
