Ej20g 3 cylinders?
I have a swapped gc8, with an ej20g. Sometimes i will start my car up and it will randomly only run on 3 cylinders. I can either drive down the street and it will stop. Or it will sputter so bad it will stall. I have changed the spark plugs numerous times. I talked to someone from garage tuning and they said it could be my plug wires. If so what spark plug wires does an ej20g take. Its coil on plug i guess. Another problem i have is that my radiator fans are permanetly on. When i start the car from a cold start the on, always, hot cold it doesnt matter. Im wondering why this is? My car never gets to operating temp so it runs very rich and i get **** mileage. Im running link ecu if that means anything.
lmk ej20g gurus. d

sorry i didnt get that first part of your response? stock engine management. havnt changed the wires yet. im going to i just dont know what ones to get? i hope thats the problem. Its really annoying. o and the cold start isnt tuned to well so maybe sometimes theres too much fuel going in for it to turn over. |

first off your car dosent have plug wires. It has coilpacks. You might want to check and see if all those are wired right or if one has taking a crap. Then change your spark plugs. Fan wise it sounds like you have them wired wrong.
