Chugging

[midlandtech]

Hey guys i got the clutch fly wheel assemble replaced did tranny fluid and diff seals and fluid at that time too and car shifts great and runs smooth however i noticed that while sitting at idle there is an audible 'chugging' comming from the engine/exhaust note almost as if there was a more aggressive cam in the car any ideas?

Interesting. I hope you post a DIY on this....

Are you throwing any codes? This is probably just a coincidence, not having anything to do with the work you just did.

Is the 'chugging' just the sound or is there a noticeable rise/fall in RPM with the sound?

It just threw a code I have a buddy bringing a reader over so I can see what it is. The chugging is more or less a rough feeling... Slight shutter felt through the floor board and burble heard in the exhaust and a very very small variation noticed in the rpms as seen on the tach... I'm thinking coil pack or spark plug but have no real idea

I thought this was going to be a thread about drinking beer.

+1 thought there were secret techniques to be discussed

There's a popular picture of the intake plumbing where it splits off in a Y shape that is known for cracking.

There ya go, I've really gotta save that to Picasa or something for quick access. That, and the little "F" pipe that likes to snap.

These are not cheap but will last a lifetime and they have improved airflow.
