No power in low RPMs

[CIENFUEGO1]

What's up tgc. So I've been noticeing for some time now that I have some type of power loss at take off, she feels like she is sputering very faint when I accelerate, sometimes I have to punch it all the way down just to catch some speed cause the pick up just isn't there. I'm not getting an engine light and I've already changed the plugs twice. My belts are new including the timing belt. Even when I'm already moving and need to speed up she feels real hesitant. It also feels like maybe the mounts are going bad but I don't think that is affecting the acceleration. I have a i4 with an intake no other mods. I'm pretty good with a wrench so I can pretty much check anything y'all suggest.

So guys, you want to give it a try?

when you changed your plugs, did you change the coilpacks too? one of them might be going bad

What's good pa. No more red dots here lol. I have a similar problem with mine but it takes off fine my rpms go down to below 1500 it still accelerates but slowly mainly when I go up hill.

I didn't change any of the coil packs. Is there a way to check to see if one is bad? Can I change only one if it is bad or should I change all of them?



Ay Corey, damn bro you got more green dots than I do. What's up with that!

[Corey2kG]

No se pa lol! When I posted that my car fucked up n died I had like 50 posts that night from everybody and I fixed it n got her home I had the red dots still. And when I woke up the next day mad people gave me props for fixin it and I had mad green dots lol.

The I4 and the V6 engines are soooooo different. You got coil packs n I got a distributor.

[CIENFUEGO1]

I wish I had a distrbutor. I can work on those but these coil packs are new to me.

[Corey2kG]

There not that bad suck it up lmao

[pcriso2]

its probably best to change them both at the same time that way you dont have to buy and fix the other one again down the road. as far as i know, i dont know how to check if a pack is bad or not but when i had those same issues it was because one of my packs went bad and caused a misfire so i changed the plugs and coilpacks together, its not that hard to do

[djhah]

i am having this problem also is there somewhere you guys suggest is the least expensive place to locate new ones? i am on a budget! (coilpacks) auto zone is pricey

The best i can find on RockAuto is $73. You might try ebay.

Bingo! $30 a pop, right here.
