Topic #59532 6 posts Started by toyo6gc
OK saturday i got in my car drove to the bank then my friends house, got out and we hung out for bout an hour then we were getting ready to go to a car show and my car wouldnt start. It would turn over but wouldnt start, i have semi new plugs, new wires, new batt, new alt, and that day i bought a new rotary cap and button. well it was like it wasnt getting no spark, then outta no where it just started. Well last nite it went out again and wont start. Im throwing a misfire 2 code but that goes in and out. also last nite there was liquid leaking from under the car but check the radiator and it was full so i have no idea whats going on any help would be great thanks



edit: o and also since saturday my car has been idioling high, it usually holds at bout 800-900 but the past week when i stop at a light it holds at about 2000

im not sure what they were but it was just a misfire 2
if you had a misfire you wouldnt idle that high? not all liquids come from the radiator, next time you see the liquids on the floor stick your your finger and smell it. you should get an idea were its coming from after that. Hows your gas mielage also?
When your car wouldn't start, did you check for spark?

yeah you really need to get under their and check the liquid coming out...can you see where the leak is coming from? that should really narrow down the possible problems
