Ok here's the question.
Latley I have been getting a studder or a bucking from my car when I start accelerating full throttle. It dosen't have any specific rpm that it happens with but seems to be more common from 2K to 3K and then if it happens higher from 3600 to 4500 rpm. I don't think it's anything like a IMRC as I had them replaced less than 6000 miles ago and considering it's happening no where near the 3200 RPM's they typically open up at. After the the problem the motor recovers with no problems and runs hard to the shift point. It also dosen't happen all the time. More when it's cold but occasionally happens after I have been on the highway for a while.

If Im in 1st gear and stomp on it it never happens all the way though the gears but If im crusing along in lets say 3rd gear and I punch it it will typically happen in the rpm ranges I mentioned above. Im thinking possibly a plug wire or a plug. Any other ideas?

If/ when you pull the plugs & wires, you might wanna go ahead and run a voltage check on the coil packs, too.

If you have one that shows up bad, rest assured that you won't be the first.

Plug wires are still factory and I just hit 50,000 miles this morning. I will pickup new plugs and wires this weekend and run a check on the packs.
Thats for the replies guys!
