Message: <blockquote data-quote="rollakid" data-source="post: 1769754" data-attributes="member: 6588">Ok straight to the point:As some of you know already i run 20v svt, had been running fine without much prob until recently, it all happened after i fetch my auntie to the hospital and got into traffic jam whole day long and spend most of my trip going 5km/h for few hours.The next time i start my engine, the car won't stop jerking, felt like i've lost a cylinder. so i open up all the spark plug and spark plug in cylinder #4 is totally carbonized. strange thing is just one spark plug only the rest is okay.so i clean it up, but switch spark plug #3 and #4 to see whether it is the spark plug's problem or it is the other stuff.one week later (today) i open up the spark plug again, and indead it is spark plug #3 in cylinder #4 which is all black and carbonized. so it is definitely not the plug's problem.here's a few other thing i've notice:1. after i clean the spark plug for the first time, it started to jerk like i lost one cylinder, but after 10 minute of driving its okay again, and the next time i start the engine it jerks again.2. when i cabut the cables when the engine is running, #1, 2, and 3 gives off "pak pak pak pak pak" sound, got spark lar, but cable #4 when cabut there's no sound one, but when i connect back the cable the plug will run, but it feels like it do not have enough power compare to the rest of the 3 cables.my question:1. izit the cable's problem or izit the distributor's?2. my mech told me svt's distributor is run on what sensor one, so not like old one run on contact, it won't spoil one. its gonna be a pain if i need to change something in the distributor cuz i need to take out the whole engine to do that...help~:cry_smile:</blockquote>
