And its bucking pretty bad too. Only happens after the engine gets up to temp and at around 2000rpm right before the tranny shifts. I thought i might have some water in the distributer so i replaces the cap and rotor and put new wires in. It still does it. Oh and plugs are barely a month old. Im going to get it scaned to see if its throwing any codes tomorrow, the check engine light has been on for over a year now for something stupid so im not sure its just a sensor yet.
Any guesses?

did you properly space the gap in your spark plugs prior to installing them?

sounds like a foul plug, and I have installed plugs before that were pre gapped, well it turned out that one was not properly gapped, so might want to check that if not codes come out.

i tried to take to the Zone today and it was running so bad i didnt want to risk getting stuck somewhere. Its idleing like crap now too. Im leaning towards TPS, but i will check the plugs tomorrow as well

is one of your plugs loose? what did you set the gap at? make sure all spark plugs wires are on the plugs, if one plug is loose or the wire is off, it will make a huge difference!
and get that thing scanned!

how old is your catalytic converter? i think he has the factory one (from 99), but he had the whole exhaust off a few weekends ago when he did the header... |

The cat will usually smell real foul if its done.
I'd try plugs and wires. wost case....you have new plugs and wires.

I did the TPS today, it ran beutifuly all the way home from middletwon to narragansett then right as i pulled onto my steet it started doing it again. So its not doing it until its been rnning for a while. Im thinking if it was a spark plug issue it would ahppen all the time and be consistant. Im getting it scanned tomrrow, but maybe the cat is whats going bad. What type of code if any would that be? O2? |

If its an obstruction in the cat, it might move around and only block the passage sometimes, which would explain the intermitant problem...
