So, when im driving my car will often hiccup like its missfiring, and the check engine light comes on, car wont rev past 4 grand, drains gas, lots of black smoke out the exhaust and you can smell the unburned fuel/carbon mix.
The thing is the car will sometimes do this multiple times, making the car jerk ferociously.
Everytime the CEL comes on, i hear the main relay click, sometimes several times.
Just wondering if that is normal (meaning the main relay is supposed to click anytime the CEL come's on). I was thinking that maybe the main relay was faulty, but i'm 90% sure my dizzy is f**ked (or at least the coil/igniter module is messed), i will be replacing it probably tomorrow but wanna make sure.
Any info would help, thanks.
(In summary if you didn't understand what i quite meant: anytime the CEL is triggerd (by any issue) is the main relay supposed to click? Is the CEL controlled by the relay i guess is what im trying to get at).
