  • wtf is wrong with my car

    ok, this just started happening about a week ago. i will crank my car up and it will start fine but then all of a sudden it starts idling and misfiring horribly, i ran the scanner and it is not just one cylinder, its a random/multiple discharge. BUT here is the kicker, it only does this under normal driving conditions, at full throttle(like when im racing)its perfect. and at normal conditions AFTER 3000rpms it runs fine. WTF IS WRONG WITH MY CAR. help me please!!

    Check for vacuum leaks. I know in my f-150 that at startup is acted like @$$, but while I was driving it, it would act normal.

    Turns out one of my vac hoses had a nice crack on the side of it.
