Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / February 2007timing off!!!
i just purchased a 1991 buick skylark 3.3 . i have pulled all necessary maintenance on the car such as a full tune up and cant seem to get the car in time correctly. i have replaced the coil packs but not the ignition module. car when idoling sounds pretty good but when put in drive it boggles down and sounds really bad and it is missing really bad. also when going down the road and i barely speed up the car sputters and sounds like it is tring to die. when i give it more gas it solves the problem but i have to give it all the gas... can u help me? >i just purchased a 1991 buick skylark 3.3 . i have pulled all necessary >maintenance on the car such as a full tune up and cant seem to get the car [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >it is tring to die. when i give it more gas it solves the problem but i >have to give it all the gas... can u help me? And what leads you to believe the problem is timing?

Well, is the valve timing good? Check the marks and make sure they all line up. --scott  Signature"C'est un Nagra.

A dirty air filter or a dirty fuel filter will give your symptoms.

Jan/06 http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2115147590 (More Off Road album links at bottom of the view page) One time I bought a used 1962 Ford Falcon car,6 cylinder engine,manual shift transmission.I was driving the car one night and it stopped running.I checked around under the hood.The air filter was all clogged up.I removed the air filter and the car ran great.Next day,I bought a new air filter.It takes three things for a car to run,air,fuel,and ignition.Engines are really glorified air pumps. cuhulin > i just purchased a 1991 buick skylark 3.3 . i have pulled all necessary > maintenance on the car such as a full tune up and cant seem to get the car [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > it is tring to die. when i give it more gas it solves the problem but i > have to give it all the gas... can u help me? The coils packs and ignmod have nothing to do with timing. The timing cannot be set on that car/engine. So, if the timing is off then the vibe dampener has rotated. > > i just purchased a 1991 buick skylark 3.3 . i have pulled all necessary > > maintenance on the car such as a full tune up and cant seem to get the car [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > it is tring to die. when i give it more gas it solves the problem but i > > have to give it all the gas... can u help me? I am wondering if the car was screwing up, causing him to do the maintenance (which did not fix it), OR if after doing maintenance, it started running poorly??? $50 worth of diagnosis is worth $500 worth of parts thrown at a problem. |
