Damn 240 *EDITED*

alright, i fired up my 240 the other night and it runs and idles ALRIGHT, the motor shakes and it sounds like its missing on a cylinder, but i checked all the wires and plugs, all good. I checked the exhaust and there’s no leaks there neither, it has the ka24e motor, anybody have the same problem or maybe know what the problem is, that’d be awesome :smiley:

k, i remember taking all the intake plumbing off the last time i did a tune up and cleaned it all up, i just checked the hosing and its all good, but the motor still shakes when idling and when i rev it up its like its only running on 3 cylinders and its running REALLY rich cause it backfires and shoots flames :?

I had a similar problem when I bought my car, but mine was an exhaust leak.

Neil and Cory checked it out for me at Speedworks and found the prob!!

I had the same problem, but I can’t remember what I did to fix it.

Check the intake piping to make sure there isnt a leak between the TB and the Maf sensor.

Make sure the 02 Sensor is still in good shape.

go to ECM, reading trouble codes SOHC

Sounds like an ignition problem. Distributor maybe?
