Add fuel conditioner to a few gallons of fresh fuel, swirl and add to tank. Allow about 15 minutes to mix. Star engine and hold RPM to just over idle speed. Run for 10 min. Then drive at highway speed for about ten minutes. If there is room in the tank , add more fresh fuel and additional fuel conditioner. If this has not solved your issue, pull and regap or replace plugs. If there is any light coloured goop on any of the plugs, you may have a leaking cylinder head gasket. Replace the gasket and re-clean the plugs.

SOURCE: car starts while in idle but shuts down after about 3 minutes if

Check the Fuel Pump and Fuel Filter. Sounds like 1 Or Both are Bad.

SOURCE: motor runs but has knock

My experience with these engines tells me that its the piston pins not moving freely as the piston travels up and down or piston slap.

SOURCE: 2002 kia sedona 3.5l has rough idle replaced plugs wires and coil

this vehicle has coil packs for the ignition correct? have you ran the engine at night with all surrounding lights outs so its really dark. spray a mist of water on the coil packs and spark plug wires to see if you have spark/voltage leaks jumping out from them. sometimes the tiny sparks will be so fine and skinny you can barely see them so it needs to be dark. hope this helps your trouble shooting. a coil pack could have such a fine crack for the voltage to leak from that you cant see it.

SOURCE: Have f350 04. About a month ago while driving in

Could be a problem with your high pressure oil system that fires the injectors. As your oil heats up it gets thinner and less oil pressure is available to fire the injectors. Black smoke is a sign of over fueling. Is it chipped? If so remove the programmer and see if the problem goes away.

2018 GMC Acadia rough idle, engine misfire, PCM & BCM codes

For issues like this you need an auto electrician with a pro grade bi-directional scan tool computer to diagnose. The misfire may just be spark plug condition, but it could be a sensor issue. It is better to pay a pro and only change the parts that need it rather than 'let's try replacing this' method of repair.

I got a peugeot 207 1.4vti 2007 it starting to blow out blue smoke when iam at lights or in traffic it just had a new timing chain new exhaust and now this

indicates failed valve stem seals
when idling the vacuum in the system sucks oil past the seals down the valve stems and into the cylinder inlet ports behind the valve heads
on acceleration that small amount of oil is allowed into the cylinders indication blue smoke on take off
Blue smoke on hard acceleration is an indication of worn bearings as the bearings are pressed ******* the crank pin, enlarging the clearance on the other side which allows excess oil up onto the cylinder walls which the oil rings cannot control

I have a 2000 jeep grand cherokee witha misfiring problem on all cylinders, thats the codes it is throwing. we have replaced plugs,coil,and camshaft sensor.still having same problem. it bumps bad like it...

Hi, think i might can help you, have you done a fuel pressure test if not here what you need to do.

1. Start and run the engine. Verify normal fuel system pressure of 339

kPa +/- 34 kPa (49.2 psi +/- 5 psi).

2. Stop the engine. Verify that the fuel system pressure does not fall below

207 kPa (30 psi) in less than five (5) minutes.

3. If the fuel pressure does not fall below 207 kPa (30 psi) in less than five (5)

minutes, then the long crank time may not be due to the fuel system. Further

diagnosis must be made to the entire engine system.

Hope this helps you, because lack of fuel can cause a missfire and by what you said this is were i would start before spending any more money. If i can help just re post.

Thanks dodge tec

Car is overheating but the radiator hose is not pressurized. the hoses from the overflow are though. could this be the thermostat going out

hello, try this, 1. when your car is cooled down. remove the radiator cap from the radiator. then fill the radiator to the brim. then start your engine on idle. let your engine warm up a while while watching the coolant from the brim of the radiator. try feeling the upper radiator hose, during the time you have started the engine. you should feel the upper hose heat up quite a bit. watch the coolant flow, if the coolant flows free like a stream then stops a few seconds later, your thermostat valve is doing its job. going back to the coolant flowing, you must not see any air bubbles just like soap suds flowing with the coolant. aside from this your cooling fans should kick-in after a few minutes and automatically cuts-out after a few minutes also. IF YOU SEE BUBBLES, THIS IS A SIGN THAT THE SOME OR ONE OF THE VALVES ARE NOT SEATING WELL, OR IN WORST CASES, THE ENGINE STALLED DUE TO AN OVERHEATED ENGINE; THE CYLINDER HEAD  COULD BE WARPED. that the worst thing that could happen. IF THE FANS DON'T CUT-IN AUTOMATICALLY, CHECK FOR BUSTED FUSES; IF ITS THE FUSES ARE OK, THEN THE FANS THEMSELVES SHOULD BE CHECKED IF THE FANS WORK AFTER DIRECTLY CONNECTING IT TO THE BATTERY(this should be done at a service shop), THEN CHECK THE RELAYS, AND TEMPERATURE SENDERS. 

well, these are few steps that could be done if your a do-it-yourselfer. hope some of this works for you. bye

Car feels like it wants to cut off at idle

May I suggest to use a OBD2 scanner and see if it could be a setting in the ECU (computer) that could be out... or engine part malfunction... it will scan for any errors... sounds like it could be the airflow sensor perhaps??
