rough idle hesitation and stalling

sounds like it makes sense any way to check it before replacing it? also where is it located?

k so car it still doing the same thing after new ignition coils were put in havn't replace the crank sensor yet but just wondering when it dies the fuel reader drops significantly but then will recover to normal after its been driving for a bit feels like the timing is off but the ignition coils spark plugs and wires are all new... any chance it could be fuel pump or injectors....and yes when it dies the smell of gas is enough to make you think your in the tank... getting really sick of this car...

Most of the stuff you have replaced is common maintenance stuff, if you don’t expect to do that kind of stuff ride a bike because all vehicles require similar maintenance. Regardless of the fact none of it apparently had failed. And do you really think replacing a “good” part will make your car run any better?

The very first thing I would have done is clean the throttle body. Its maintenance many ppl don’t even realize needs to be done. Just had a couple ppl recently with similar problems and that was the fix. You can’t expect to drive a car forever and do nothing, then try replacing every part senselessly with out results then blame the car.

The coils can be checked easily with an ohm meter, or indirectly by misfires. You know there is a reason car manufacturers were mandated to implement OBD. Have you have the car scanned for codes yet?

And most fueling issues can be diagnosed with the use of a fuel pressure gauge. Have you used one of those yet? Or is your plan to replace the whole fuel system based on smelling gas once?

listen bud if I wanted a prick answer I would have taken the car to a dealer! asshole and I'm aware that what I started with is maintenance but I'm simply giving the back ground and as far as codes there is a misfire and an o2 sensor code my mechanic told me to replace the coils because I got a deal on all 3. as far as my frustration I've had this car all of 6 months and had nothing but problems because the last owner did nothing but beat it so excuse me all to hell if I wanna ask if some one has heard of this similar thing and can point me to something with out me purchasing a $75 fuel tester which I had to because of ***** comments like yours!

thanks for being usless

Please show me where cerick called you a prick or an asshole.

Then you can call him such names.

But as far as I can see, those comments are absurd considering he was giving you valid advice given the comments present in this thread.

So please try to keep those remarks to yourself.
