Thread: So what else can feel like spark blowout?

Well idk what the problem is, but it seems to have vanished temporarily. Yesterday I made about 6-7 WOT pulls from various speeds without any problems, although it was fairly cold out compared to the rest of the days which is leading me to believe it could be a trans issue . I guess we'll see when it warms up again.

my car was doing the exact same thing, stuttering like a ***** from 4k-6k rpm...not every time though, it would go away sometimes completely, or sometimes would not be as bad as other times..i put new plugs in, which helped for about a week, then it came back. I started to think it was a trans problem too, but then i checked the coils, and one was bad...changed it for a new delco, and voila problem solved. Car runs great now. HTHs

Hmm interesting, how do you check for a bad coil pack? I have a good used set sitting in my basement so that'd be an easy fix if that's the issue.
