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 😃 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 :? ---

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. ---

Sounds like an ignition problem. Distributor maybe?
