Default Need Some Help Running Poor
Last week had the 2000 coupe out for a ride. All of a sudden the car started running rough and the smell inside was so bad that I had to open the windows. Wouldn't ilde almost shuts off. The motor has been reworked and has LG Long Tube Headers with the high flow cats. Was wondering if I should check the plugs first or have the coils checked. Any help will be appreciated.
