need help vs stalled then shudering

as crazy said it is a normal thread so undo it anti clockwise. Best method i know is to use a long breaker bar or pipe over your breaker bar long enough to go under your drivers side chasis rail. then stand back and turn your key to on to try start the engine. the bar will wack the chasis and motor will turn and undo bolt. might take a few goes. it worked for me but be carefull doing this.
then u need a puller for the balancer.

Lash out on a gregorys or a haynes manual if your gunna DIY. They wont tell u everything but they'll give you the basics. you can make a brace for the harmonic balancer but your gunna need a puller. a cheepy fron supa chep will do it.

yer i found a way to do it got the breaker bar an put it on the ground of the passengers side on the ground kicked the motor twice and it was undone then took the other car down to supercheap bought a puller 45 dollars and it dont even fit the next size up they had was 75 i think it would just work out cheaper if i take it to the mechanic lol

Check your coil pack(s). With the car running, disconnect the injectors (one at a time) - make sure you reconnect them before disconnecting the next one. If one of the coils has gone, it should affect 2 cylinders. If the revs don't alter, there's your dead coil.

Do not disconnect the spark plug leads or use a screwdriver to short out the spark - It's possible this could damage your coils/module (according to a local mechanic).

75 for a 3 arm puller ? forget it, go to a local market or something, they would only be about $25 there. The only prob you get is the thread in the nut strips sometimes.
