I have been having a missing problem for a while now.
I have to press the gas pedal all the way down to take off from a stop. I have to hold it there for about 2 to 3 seconds and finally the engine 'wakes up' and starts to go.
I have already replaced the plugs, wires, fuel pump (it stopped working), and fuel filter. I swapped the coil packs and it still misses but a little better. But at the same time I also unscrewed my EGR tube from my valve and let it flow free. The reason I did that is because I thought that maybe the catalytic converter was getting stopped up.
My questions are:
-How do I know if the catalytic converter is stopped up.
-since it still misses (just a little better) should I replace the coil packs?
-If it's fuel related like an injector how do I narrow it down to one injector?
