phantom problem......odd fix????????!!!!!!!

[superballs5337]

i had this problem with my car hesitating, stumbling, etc. we thought it was fuel problems, electrical problems. people on here told me to check IAC,TPS,MAF,coil pack ignition module, plugs plug wires, fuel pump, O2 sensor, etc etc etc. well i got my system installed yesterday and i havent had the problem for a day now. maybe it was just a fluke and its gonna come back but so far so good. does anyone wanna try to explain.

What's a system?

 

[pacecarta]

if the system you are talking about is the new exhaust listed in your sig then yes deleting a cat converter and new mufflers would help if it was plugged up
a simple check of backpressure would have shown if it was good before removing , the symptoms you described could have easily been due to excessive backpressure due to a blocked exhaust from a plugged up cat converter (they melt down and plug up) or rusted out/blocked up mufflers.
the backpressure wreaks havoc with the MAP sensor that detects load which not only messes up fuel curves it can mess up shift points and pressures making it seem like the transmission is on its way out .

so how do you do this backpressure check? replacing the headers right now so i might just replace the cat too

system, as in audio system. sorry i guess some of you old folks wouldnt know what im talking about. i would have said new exhaust or whatever. but when referring to audio systems like subs(subwoofers) etc thats called a system.

 

[John Larkin]

This old folks opinion is that your radio won't cause your car to stumble or fix a stumble so I guess I can't explain it, dawg.

 

[superballs5337]

me neither. o well im at the point to where id spend ne thing to get it fixed.
