When i start up the car starts strong and runs strong for about a minute. Then it gets rough, sputters and dies! After about 3 starts, it'll stay running, but rough. When i step on the gas, it bogs down, sputters and tries to stall, console lights flickering and all. if i gradually bring the throttle up, it'll accelerate slowly and rough. After a few times of bringing it up to about 3k, it'll let me floor it, but with about a second delay. After a couple of these, it'll run fine. If the car sits for more than about 20 minutes, i have to do this process again. Seems to be getting worse and lasting longer.
Any ideas?
I ran the diagnostic with the car running and it returned a code 21 which points to Ignition Signal. Dunno what its referring to. Thats the only code im getting. Recently changed the cat and fpr. Plugs are new and dont look fouled. The MAF was replaced a couple years ago. wtf is the deal? lol. The only thing i can think of is maybe the distributor? rotor? dist. cap? Am i on the right track? Which is more likely? Someone had suggested the transistor or the coil. wtf, thats a lotta "could be"s!
