Are 2000 LTI engine heads universal? Can they be either right or left?
When you changed the plugs are they tight did you also change the wires? Did you do a complete tune up? Have you changed the fuel filter and check the cap and rotor?what do they do in a tune up? what is PMS?
Check the PVC valve, it may be gunked up.What is wrong with my braking system?
i own a repair shop,and you need to go back over it and check the layout of the wires there might be one crossed on it,,which will make it have two cylinders not firing right on it,,also check and see if you gaped the plugs right,,if the gap is not set right they wont run good,i hope this help,s,if a car will only run after a jump start, is the problem with the battery, or the alternator?
You may have damaged one of the plug wires if they were difficult to pull off the plugs. It's due for a new set of wires, so make sure the new wires are connected to the right plugs, and you'll probably be back on the road again.How do the muffler shop do to cut off the muffler??
You said that the spark plug had popped out of the cylinder block. This means that one of two things have happened:1. The spark plug was loose and worked its way out of the threaded hole before it popped out. This is the best case, since there won't be damage to the block. Check that all the spark plugs are correctly sealed, seated and check the wiring to make sure that the wires aren't crossed or sitting next to each other.
2. The spark plug was actually blown out of the cylinder block. If this is the case, you will need to get the block machined and a threaded insert installed before the cylinder will seat properly. Until then, the car won't run well because the cylinder won't seal properly and the cylinder won't be able to pressurize properly before ignition.
how did one pop out? were the threads stripped? is that one seated properly now or is it not in as far as the others. Check the wires to make sure they all have good contact. Maybe narrow it down by unpluging the wire in the one the plug popped in and see if it is worse or the same. If its not the one move on to the others.
