| Modification: | 3.0 lpi engine | |
| Problems: | I have an ignition problem with my car. The problem occurs only when the car engine is hot - never with a cold engine. Every time I start the engine, when hot, I get a low RPM and the engine begins to shake (thus the check engine warning light begins to blink and often remains on). To avoid the problem I turn off the engine and restart again. When reading the error code it shows ignition problems with cylinder 6 and ignition problems with multiple cylinders. I have changed all ignition coils and spark plugs - no improvement. The problem occurs ONLY with hot engine - never cold. In a normal start the engine RPM go up to 1500, when the problem appears the RPM hardly reach 800. |
