Default What does it sound like to you???

Thanks Jon for Advertising i blew my rig up..


UH OH!!

Only code thats comin up is P0300 Random Multiple missfire..

So i had to get a tow home about an hour ago, Went out on a drive and i was doin a WOT run from about 60-90mph, And after it shifted into 3rd it kinda fell on its face a lil bit. so i let out and slowed down and it started flashin the check engine light so i pulled over to check the plug wires and it sounded like it was missing..

Checked all the wires and made sure they were all connected, I can fire it up but it takes a lil pedal, and it wont run without givin it some gas.. def doesnt sound good, sounds internal. Sounds like it may have a small knock too.(Bent pushrods, valvespring something). It almost sounds like it could be starving for fuel too. I didnt wanna keep it running for to long incase thing got worse. I know its hard to diagnose a problem without hearing it.. Just wanted to see what you guys thought before it goes to the tuner monday.


Edit: Its also on a safe tune right now.

easiest thing is to just pull the valve cover and take a peek...maybe a rocker arm loosed up or something stupid like that
