Not a clue what's wrong with my 02 GT(this is a long post..)

Just a couple weeks ago I was dealing with the same issue you are now.

Any kind of load, and the engine would bog and miss. 4th and 5th were the worst. Low RPM was very evident, which was never a problem before especially since I put the 4.10's in.

It turned out to be a coil. But it took a while to figure out because it would not throw a code. No matter how bad I got it to bog or miss, it would not throw a code. So I bought a coil knowing that these engines are bad on coils and kept swapping coils until I found the right one. Turned out to be cylinder 7. It drove better instantly. It threw no misfire codes, had no arching marks on the boot, and ohmed out completely within spec.

I'm not saying this is your problem, but your symtoms describe my issue to a T.

Dragstr...I'm wondering if you're right in regards to my car, you've described the issue with my car better then I could, Especially my 5th gear, if I try and give it gas to even maintain speed the stick shakes and it doesnt go anywhere..if anything it loses power.

Also, I'm sorta new to the internals of cars..so am I to assume that by coil, you mean ignition coil?

Yes he's talking about the ignition coil.

It was the ignition coil. I was going to go get one today or tomorrow, but on my way home from school today, the car started shaking rather violently...so I took it to the shop. Funny enough it was cylinder 7 that was causing the issue. Thanks for the help guys, even though I didnt fix it, I'm building up confidence so that SOME DAY....I'll be able to fix my own car........someday......

something in my gut is telling me its your spark plugs and not so much the coil. i think you should have your plugs changed first (i'm guessing they're the originals so no loss there) before you spend 80 bucks on a coil
