ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:
http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/forumdisplay.php?f=144
Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    Hesitating?

    Okay so I just came back from a football game. I drove there, no problem, and it was drizzling outside. A few hours later it's been pouring and whatnot. I go to the car and all of a sudden it didn't want to start right away. I put it in neutral (autotragic here) and it starts right away but the idle's low. I let it sit there for a while and it warms up, but the check engine light's still on. And when I drive it, it accelerates really really slow. Idk what's with it but any ideas?

        I live in Dover, DE. It rains once in a while.
        I had an oil leak before, so I fixed that, put new oil in it. And changed the plugs.

        Oil Filter maybe? Fuel filter?

            Check out the Check Engine Light. Run the code(s), and it'll probably tell you exactly what the problem is.

            I'd shoot more along the lines of the distributor. Since it's doing it under moisture/rainy conditions.

              Ha learned something.
              I put gas in it (cause it was around a quarter tank) and apparently check engine light disappeared.

              This morning and afternoon the CEL wasn't on or anything. Car ran fine. A hour ago, the CEL lit back up... wth. I put gas in it, and it's gone.

                  The code is stored in the ECU. I would pull the code to get a better idea of what's going on.
