Spitting Noise When Accelerating

Jul 25, 2006 1 Replies

Hello,



I'm still driving my '95 GT convertible after 10 years. Now I'm getting some issues when accelerating. As the RPMs go up, I hear a "spitting" noise and the "Check Engine" light comes on.



Before I take it to a mechanic, I was hoping for some insight into what might be happening.



Thanks, C



Best guess is an ignition problem.... information on the car is a tad skimpy for any "close" guessing. Since the CEL has been coming on, the "mechanic" will scan for codes.... This works well as long as nobody has been disconnecting and reconnecting things to see what happens and it also works well if someone hasn't been disconnecting the battery to turn off the light.

The PCM collects information that can be valuable in diagnosing the concern. 'Erasing" the information inadvertently or adding spurious information can make the diagnostic road long and hard....
