OK...I have a 95 and just the other day I was on the interstate and was cruising along and when I mashed down the gas the thing started to vibrate something awful! I let up and it ran smooth, pushed the gas, samething...like it's runing on two cylinders! I was able to get home and then let it cool down. I started it back up and drove a little ways...all was fine... then after it got some heat in it it started doing it again. Any clues??? |  |  | | 09-22-2009, 07:43 PM | #2 | | Member Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: Parkersburg, W.V. Posts: 88 |

I am not sure what the problem may be but is your car shifting gears? or is it staying in low gears? __________________

Replace the fuel filter and that might save your fuel pump.
If any problem after changeing that, check fuel pressure. | | | | | 09-23-2009, 09:39 PM | #10 | | Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Charleston, WV Posts: 6 |
When I got home yesterday I checked the codes per the instructions I found on this site. I received the code 1286....not in the list!!! FRICK!! Went online and found the code and it is for the knock sensor. Makes sense now, the car is getting a signal that the engine is knocking and it is retarding the timing when I put a load on the engine. Now, what 7 kinds of h*ll is it going to be to get to the knock sensors?? | | | | | 09-23-2009, 11:16 PM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: TampaBay, Florida Posts: 104 |
HA HA....You get a knock sensor :code" so replace the sensor and Voila!..........Ha! You should think what causes it to knock.... fix that! A lean condition! Fuel Filter is plug.d

I recently replaced my knock sensors when I damaged them during coolant refresh upgrade. This problem caused a power loss in the high band during shifting. http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=27724 Quote: Originally Posted by redhairpuppy When I got home yesterday I checked the codes per the instructions I found on this site.
