car is giving me problems..help

[kennyS13]

well my car had no gas what so ever.so i went to the gas station and my dad put "super"instead of regular.Im not sure if thats the case but when i drive the car,once i reach around 3k rpm the car starts studdering.like if it cant go no more then 3.also its shuts off and white smoke comes out..any suggestions on this


thanks

could be the MAF if it wont go over 3K rpms

i know when i had a ka mine wouldnt go past 5k and it was the ecu......so try a different ecu and see if that fixes it

try using another maf, then plugs. does it rev clear at standstill? or sputter at 3k?

 

[kennyS13]

for some reason it comes and goes
cause i just drove it and it was runnning fine..
and then before it was runnin like shit...my motor has downs syndrom

 

[El Abe]

Wow just for that nobody should help him out!!!

uh...
-clean your injectors w/ some injector cleaner
-check your spark plugs
-make sure you're MAF is doing it's job right
-check the connection between your battery and alternator

you said you're shooting white smoke. are you overheating?

Maf

white smoke? might be a more major problem.

 

[Miami_drifter]

ok
1. put some injector cleaner.
2. check ur maf
3. check spark plugs.
4. check ecu codes..
5. check dizzy cap. and timing.
do those and then come back.

Before you go changing E.C.U.s and any other shit, try cleaning the MAF. You have to make sure is nothing simple before you go taking shit appart. I had the same problem.
