Hello everybody, my 92 245 had a bad day today. First off give you the daily rundown. Everything was running normal, stopped at the library for an hour and came out to start the car. The first attempt, it turned over but no start, then on the second attempt it started right up and seemed to be fine. I drove about 25 miles then when under load (up-hill) in 5th gear (manual transmission) it just started losing power. The shifter started shaking a little and the car acted like it was going to stall-out, I put it down into 4th and it seemed to be ok, back into 5th and loss of power again.
I Got it into a driveway and shut it off then tried to start it again with a no start. I popped the hood and checked everything. I noticed that #1 and #2 spark plug wires would just slid off from the plugs. Then with the #3 wire I had an opp's moment and separated the plug connector from the plug boot. If it ain't broke you're not trying hard enough!I pulled the connector off of the plug end and stuffed it back into the boot. I decided not to touch the #4 plug wire.
Anyway I remembered about jumping the fuel-pump fuse's and got it to start, idled fine but but when you press the accelerator it would hesitate and stumble for a few seconds then rev-up. My CEL did come on after the idle and accelerator test. Then I checked my codes. I got a 1-1-3 and a 2-3-2.
I know for sure that I need new plug wires, and I did not get any lights warning me when all of this all started. Any help would be useful.
Thanx
Patrick H.
