Car Stuttering/Missing
Car Stuttering/Missing
When ever i give it gas 9/10 times the car stutters and somtimes makes a loud popping noise (back fire). When i get on it, it feels strong from a punch but afterward it dosent feel as strong. I am 100% postive and i losing power.
Time for new plug wires??
O ya and i do have delteq

Arching...like sparking right?
Re: Car Stuttering/Missing
Yup, you can rev the engine with your fingers, by pushing the the throttle cable pully thingy to the front of the car. becareful theres all kinds of moving parts on the front of your engine, dont get a tie or a peice of your jacket caught in your belt or you can kiss something good bye

Am i able to reach the ground by hand?
Re: Car Stuttering/Missing
Yes. Yes. When my ground was loose, I was driving and any load and my car would buck and kick and back fire. Stopped at a gas station and figured it had to be something with the coil. I kept pushing the connector on the coil around and everytime i messed with the wires, it would stall out. So just looking around I noticed where a few grounds are on a post with a nut holding them down, the nut was loose, tighted it up by hand and the car ran fine after wards. I'd get you a pic, but the cars under snow and Im at work right now.
