No power uphill. Misfire.
Hey everyone, I need some help.
about a month ago I had yet another coil pack problem so I replaced it along with the plug(cylinder 2).
After this it made no change to the misfire and rough idle. So after this happened I noticed a lot of carbon fouling on the plug which made me want to look around at the others and sure enough I had a misfire in 1,2,and 3. So now I replaced those plugs and have the new coil packs on and cylinder two still wanted to act up, tried a new fuel injector with not result. Cleared out codes today and tried to drive it up the road. This is where I really need some explanation, when I drive it I can barely go up an incline. Pedal to the floor and it’s hardly got anything and the engine sounds much louder than it ever did before. Almost like it is really roaring on the passenger side of the engine. Any helpful feedback would be great. Thanks guys

Agree on the possible clogged cat, misfires can destroy them if let go for too long

Update: today I had another light come on after clearing the remaining ones that I had. The only code to still show up is, p2106. Throttle Actuator Control System, forced limited power. Any ideas other than the cats being clogged. Changing the car will probably be my next move, I’m just concerned about this code

Throttle body may be causing your power problem....remove it and clean it with proper cleaner.

Did you just have the battery unplugged for a while?

Unhook the battery for a while again. Then let it sit on your driveway running, no AC on, for about fifteen minutes then take it on a decent drive. Drive normally. Allow the engine to relearn fuel trims and whatnot. May solve your issue, may not. I've had that happen. Leave the battery unplugged for a while to do something then immediately drive. Bam! out of nowhere, failsafe mode and it runs like ***. Just a thought
