Just as the title suggests, when its a gradual acceleration to redline i haven't noticed a problem, however gunning it always gives me a flashing CEL for about 5 seconds then it goes away. This has happened since i bought the car about 8 months ago :banghead:
Things i have already done:
-read the "SUFFERING FROM A MISSFIRE START HERE" post.. several times
-BHR ignition (with wires) with NGK iridium plugs
-cleaned ESS (did not perform the 20 break stomp though)
-cleaned MAF
-replaced small ~6" hose under the trunk of air filter box because of a tear
-cleaned accordion
-cleaned throttle body
-smog was done and passed around february so i do not believe the CAT is bad (no rattles within the housing either)
Things to note:
-04 MT engine has roughly 180k miles on this engine/ about 202k on the car
-only use premium at shell or chevron
-fuel gauge stops working at around half a tank (i hardly ever let it run lower than half anyway, however since the sensor and pump are in the same housing i think it could be a problem)
-seem to be running pretty rich
-have not tried to clean fuel injectors yet
:) Any help is greatly appreciated, comments and questions also welcome. I have been putting off getting the fuel pump checked since most of the stuff I have done already I did/installed myself to save money. If i have left anything out please let me know I will be checking the post regularly. Oh and be gentle.
*thought i should add that since i noticed it misfire in my first attempt to redline months back, i strictly kept the car under 5.5krpm, the only reason it started was because i thought maybe after putting the BHR kit the problem would be fixed. I again am keeping it below 6k rpm to avoid a misfire, and have only attempted it a few times after each thing i have tried fixing.
