"Intermitting" misfire and "power train"

MOSES · Post by **MOSES** » April 3rd, 2006, 6:18 pm

I was bootin down ther highway today, noticed my CEL came on so i pulled over just for a checksy.
'
she was idling really rough and low, so i drive it to the shop turn it off, when i turn it back on 5 min later it was idleing fine, but still had the CEL in.
ITs been intermitting all evening, but doesnt shut off.

people get misfring with bad fuel pumps, bad spark plugs, bad wires, but this is intermitting, so, i dont believe its any of these.

Is your car OBD2? If it is OBD1 what did you do to pull codes?

The scanner came up with "power train".
