low rpm problem

rosskie · 09-06-2011, 07:14 PM

well when im driving 1-3rd gear is find since its higher rpm in those gears i have no problem but in 4th 5th and 6th if its like 1k to 1.6k rpm and i give it gas it feels like the whole car is shaking and u can hear the intake sucking and stoping on and off. rpms jump up and down couple hundred and after it hits over 1.6k rpm its perfect.

i think it might be the throttle body but im not sure so just asking.

When was the last time the coils, injectors, and plugs were changed? Any codes come up?

rosskie · 09-06-2011, 07:24 PM

no codes what so ever. all sparks were checked 1 was replaced.

how many miles u have on your car?

rosskie · 09-06-2011, 07:33 PM

60k

the shop only replaced 1 since it was black but all others worked good

Syndicategt · 09-06-2011, 08:40 PM

Have them take another look at them (coils, injectors, plugs). Also, a good intake valve cleaning my help too, after 60K I bet they are pretty gunked up.

how much does a valve cleaning cost? by a dealer

Beemw335 · 09-06-2011, 08:55 PM

Its alot of work to clean the valves! Forget the dealer theure gonna
Charge you a fortune.

How do you justify just replacing one plug with 60k miles? Maybe the DME needs to readapt to that plug/cylinder as it was used to that plug running shitty.

rosskie · 09-07-2011, 10:29 AM

its been over 2k miles

downshift?

Jeff@TopGearSolutions · 09-07-2011, 10:47 AM

Replace all the plugs. I never heard of someone replacing just one... they are so inexpensive just replace all.

If the car hasnt had updated HPFP, or injectors those could pose a problem as well. However,I think its the plugs they should all be replaced around 20-25K.
