Brilliant, Just Brilliant

  1. I wanted to post a thanks to all those who helped me solve the problem
    with my 1996 Plymouth Voyager 2.4L. The journey went something like
    this...

    First posted describing the problem (very little power when under
    load) and error code. Someone mentioned it was an ignition problem.

    I changed the coilless ignition (likely a waste of time and money),
    which only somewhat made things better for a few days.

    Someone mentioned it might be the SMEC.

    Later posted question about replacing the SMEC and was told that my
    vehicle has an SBEC and it was very unlikely that it was at fault.
    Told to look at replacing the plugs and plug wires.

    Replaced all Champion plugs with new NGK plugs. Replaced old OEM wires
    with new premium NGK wires. (Also replaced the seriously leaking valve
    cover gaskets, which had been installed at a dealership under a year
    ago.) Works beautifully and the CHECK ENGINE light has gone on
    (hopefully a very long) vacation.

    Thanks again for the help.
