I own a 84 Supra and about 50 miles ago I replaced the plugs and wires and cap and rotor and the oil and filter(synthetic). Yesterday I was driving and the car lost power like it was running on 4 cylinders instead of 6. It shakes at idle roughly and misses at idle and at excelleration. It acts like it has the wires routed wrong and firing out of sequence but its not. The symptoms are no smoke but a shitty strong odor from the exhaust and the # 2 and 3 injector are ticking louder than normal. The timing is still on time. Please help me get my creat car back to greatness. I am the original awner and have had the engine rebuilt twice. It has 202775 miles on it. Thanks for any help.

The natural thing to do when troubleshooting is to start by taking a look at what you worked on. Check the wires and make sure none of them have been burned by laying on a manifold or are otherwise broken and that they are all on the plugs tight. Next, check and make sure none of the plugs have backed out. Also, look at the cap and rotor, make sure they are seated properly. Lastly, make sure you didn't hit, dislodge or pinch any of the vacume or fuel lines when you were working under there.<br><br>It could always be some other problem, but the likelyhood that your car would begin to act strangly so soon after a tune up because of an unrelated problem is pretty far fetched. It can happen, but not bloody likely.

TO TMKREUTZER, YOUR KNOWLEDGE IS VERY LIMITED AND TO AN EXTENT PRETTY FAR FETCHED. I FOUND THE PROBLEM AND IT WAS CLOGGED FUEL INJECTORS AND A VERY DIRTY FUEL FILTER. THE FUEL RAIL CLOGGED UP FROM THE INJECTORS BEING CLOGGED THAT THE FUEL WAS RUNNING BACK INTO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD FROM THE BLEED OFF LINE. THE LIKELY HOOD OF SOMETHING ELSE BEING THE PROBLEM IS VERY LIKELY. I AM A VERY EXPERIENCED MECHANIC FOR 32 YEARS AND LISTENING TO YOU WANT TO BE MECHANICS IS VERY ENTERTAINING AND FUNNY AND THAT IS WHY I POST THIS SENARIOS ON THE WEB. DON'T YOU FEEL LIKE A REAL DUMB ASS-BLOODY LIKELY!

Grumpy, you sad bastard, dont you have anything better to do in life?<br><br>Whether the guy is a fully qualified mechanic or not, he tried to help you, and then you post a BULLSHIT message like you did.<br><br>I think you are the one with something stuck up your ass.
