This is the place to ask questions about your engine components like cams, valves, pistons? just anything that is generally "engine" specific.

95 Sohc Dies when full throttle, or randomly..?

Post by GarrettB » Tue Jun 26, 2012 9:42 pm

I hope this is posted in the right place...I recently replaced my clutch and the car ran perfect before the swap. The only thing that was different on the reinstall was that I relocated the battery to the trunk. All the cables are plenty strong and I have all the grounds connected properly. What I'm wondering is when I "gun it" or push full throttle it stutters and dies. Then starts up perfectly fine? My dad thought it was the headgasket because it overheated awhile back. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It dies now, but didn't die before? That doesn't sound like a battery problem. Does it smoke? Is there a vacuum leak? What have you checked, in order?

Thanks for replying but i figured it out it was the coilpack, it was giving intermittent spark at higher throttle.
