Anyone ever experience slight hesitation/stutter when starting from a dead stop?

it doesn't last long but it is there.


my aftermarket coil went out recently, i put the stocker back on, changed cap/rotor (were bad).


dont know if that had something to do with it. My plugs are pretty old. Throwing in some new ones this weekend

Wires have done it for me.

Let the car idle at night. Carefully (since you cant see anything and there's lots of moving parts under the hood) spray water around the wires. If you see pixie dust, replace the wires.

Good luck.
