Running Rough

[tin-pain]

hey guys

i went through the forums to see about missfires and that.

couldnt relaly spot the same symptoms as mine.

i was driving it last night and i was really giving it.

then all of a sudden my car starts running like a bag of sh#t. i've had the prblem where my cooler hose poped off so i thought it was that didnt have any tools so i drove it home( it was at night and about a 5minute drive away)

i saw that my cross over pipe that goes into the throttle body had popped off. so i was relieved that it wasnt something major i popped it back on checked all my hoses and clamps and there all fine,

as i start it up and rev abit it missfires real bad.

cheked it this morning. all clamps are ok blowing black smoke out the exhaust. can smell fuel from the engine bay and if i stick my head under the car the exhaust sounds real naggerty.

i was wondering if anyone would know.

any help would be much appreciated and thanks in advance.

cheers

it will clear up.. my mates 180 did that sooo many times.... and sooo many times we forgot that everytime it happened it would take 10 min nearly to clear it all up and start running normal.

i think its a mix of running extremely rich due to the pipe blowing off, then fouling the plugs so they cant fire properly, and the ecu going crazy trying to fix everything up.

ohh that might be abit true.

cause i just replaced my plugs on thursday with iridiums.

and i took off the plug today and it was real black.

would that be that case. running on it for too long which put too much fuel in the cylinders?

would u need to clean the plugs or anything?

i left it running for 15minutes still didnt change sounds like it wants to die out then the revs come back up again and repeats the same process

Just replace teh plugs with some copper ones, should be about $15 for the set
