well now my car is having more problems. When it is in idle, it spudders and isn't smoothe. When I press the gas a little it rumbles and doesn't accellerate smoothly. And when i hit the gas hard there is a big pop. My dad said at first it might be a fuel pump, and then said something about some regulator under the hood. I don't know he's checking with napa and with some mechanics he knows. Well what do you guys think? And do you really think replacing the brake rotors is necessary if they seem to work fine? Is there a visual way to tell just by looking at them if they need to be replaced? Thanks for all your help -

sounds to me like the "infamous" misfire problem. Get new plug wires and your worries will just mysteriously go away.

 

Sounds to me like your car's been hanging out w/ nino's car too much and caught it's disease

As for the rotors, if your car shakes when you stop, they could use some turning or replacing (still not an emergency), but no big deal.

 

well i just installed new spark plugs and wires a few weeks ago. Could it be one fell off or something?

 

most definately....either doesn't have a good connection or burnt through, due to inproper routing. Very good possibility

 

My car was idleing rough kind of like yours. I took it in to a shop to have it looked at and they said the throttle body was dirty, so they cleaned it and now everything is working good. So this might be a possibility too.

 

I took off each spark plug at a time from the coils, and all but one had sparks comming from it. Should I buy a new coil? could this be the problem? I didn't check the actual spark plugs because i would have to jack the car up again and I just didn't want to do that.

 

Yeah...........new coil. Just spend the extra money and get an MSD Dis-4 ignition. Just my opinion. I'm sure your car is still under warranty. That's covered by the way.
