Subject: Re: Roll Call: C6 Owners Check In by jdtireman on 2012/8/24 16:03:09 After spending all day cleaning the car last summer for a concourse show, I jumped in to go to the show and the car ran like crap, rough, stumbling, poor power etc. The dash was showing various codes: check engine, service engine soon, traction control disabled...I can't remeber them all. I tried replacing the battery on the chance that the battery was toast, no effect. I tried plugging in a scanner and got no codes back despite all the chaos on the dash. In the end I had it towed to the dealer and they advised that the number 3 spark plug wire was "damaged". The new wire immediately solved the poor running. I decided to change all eight as a precaution and have not had any issue since then. I did find one reference to this problem/solution on the "other" forum, but there was no simple way to determine if the wire failure was at fault. In the end it took a profeesional type scan tool to find the problem. I messed around for two days and the dealer found the issue in about 10 minutes. I'm sure there is a lesson in there... |
