Bad Plugs/Coils ?
If anyone has an Idea on this, I would appreciate the info!
I was out of town for a few (4) months so the car sat. Returned and had to jump it, it ran fine. 6 Months later, it started to take more revolutions at start-up before the engine would start. The engine would run a bit rough while idling. I figured that maybe the aged fuel might be the cause so I added some octane boost/injector cleaner and immediately the car ran/started as usual. I continued this process for maybe 4 tanks. Then the other day I filled the tank with just plain 92 octane premium. I drove about 7 miles and suddenly, the car started to bog out and run very rough. Starting from a stop, I had to ease into first gear to get going. I had to ease into the throttle slowly or I would (seemingly) flood the engine. Once I reached speed it seemed if I kept even RPMs, it ran smooth. I pulled the plugs but they didn't seem to be fouled. Now I start the engine and it runs rough with the "Check Engine", light on. All fluids are current and topped off. All I can figure is a problem with the, "Spark." I have 52,000mi on a 2001 Boxter S. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any assistance! |
Could be plugs or coils, but it could also be an MAF sensor or O2 sensors. Find a garage with a computer and have them check it out. I tried to self-diagnose this same problem once and ended up spending 1k on parts, when my mechanic diagnosed the problem in a 30 minutes and gave me a print out of all the error codes for 50 dollars. I replaced coils and an MAF sensor for no reason, it was justy my O2 sensors.

Go to any of the large chain auto parts stores and they will connect a code scanner to your car (free) to let you know exactly what the codes are. Post the codes here and somebody can probably help you interpret them.
