You should check the fuel pressure and, if there is a check engine light, get the vehicle scanned for codes. The fuel pressure should run about 50 to 60 PSI when running and should hold pressure after the engine is off for a period of time.

    Thank you Marc Taylor but how do I go about getting it checked?

  • Marc Taylor Mar 29, 2016

    If you aren't going to do it yourself, then you need to take it to a dealer or an independent mechanic. If you are going to do it yourself, then you need to purchase a fuel pressure gauge and check it yourself. Most auto parts stores will hook up a scanner to check for any codes on your vehicle for free.

I have exactly the same problem and codes you listed on my 2000 Camry 4 cyl. I replaced the plugs which had no effect. My friend mechanic said the problem is deffinitely the wires and I could also need to replace the coil pack.

SOURCE: 1996 Honda Accord Rough Idle Even After tune up

Perform a valve clearance inspection and adjust if necessary. Tight or sticking valves will cause a misfire or rough running concern. Note: Perform valve adjustment when the engine is stone cold. 4cyl: INT 0.26mm EXH: 0.30mm (V6 engine are hydraulic and no adjust necessary.) Also check for a sticking or stuck open EGR valve. For diagnostic purposes only: Remove the EGR valve. Place a business card over the EGR passage and bolt the EGR valve back on. This plugs the EGR ports and if the misfire goes away the EGR valve is partially stuck open and is defective.
Check for low fuel pressure. Check for low compression. Check cam timing. Check for a weak ignition coil. Also don't over look the possibility of worn or broken engine mounts which cause excessive engine movement and engine vibration. -hope this helps

SOURCE: 1992 pontiac grand am no acceleration, a rough idle (engine miss)

Does it have the 2.3l Quad 4 engine? If so replace the plastic piece that the coils go into, they go bad and leak spark to the cam towers and then you get a nice one or multiple cylinder misfire.

2004 chevy suburban no or very sluggish acceleration when you step on the gas

if you've replaced spark plugs and wires lately, try simply running lucas fuel treatment to your gas, it may be an injector may be clogging or dirty injectors period. if that does'nt work, try replacing the idle control sensor. does it start and die sometimes on it's own? idle rough sometimes? that points to several things, like bad egr valve, is check engine light on?or bad idle control sensor, may be a bad gas cap lid even. if the fuel pressure coming from fuel pump isn't right it will not preform right at all. at least this are some points to look for hope i helped and thanks for choosing fixya.com

Try running some fuel injector cleaner through your fuel tank. What you may have are a couple of plugged or missfiring fuel injectors. I would suggest checking all of your wiring to your injectors to insure good connection, replace your fuel filter and check for vacuum leaks.
