Any Codes? What gear does this happen in? Does the car downshift when it does this or just light throttle in 4th? Need more info to help you
11-26-2010
no codes. and 2nd and 3rd i think
11-26-2010
okay, well i have narrowed it down to the spark plugs i think. i noticed that the middle front boot was not in as far as the rest. i replaced that wire. its not doing it as bad but it is def. still doing it. i used app606 autolie double platnium plugs. man this sux. i think the wires i bought may just be ****. they were $20 at advanced. xact was the brand here is a link

hope this helps

$20 wires? Sounds a little cheap.
11-26-2010
well i was broke and pulled the boot off the wire and that was all i could afford. u think shtty wires could make the car bogg out?
11-26-2010
Yeah they could, having a break in the wire coating, or a weak spot, the spark can jump to anything else metal. My 2002 had the same deal, but it was more on/off, depending on engine load. So one night we popped the hood, and revved it some, and sure enough, we saw sparking.
Replaced the wires with some 10.3mm wires, no problems since.

thank you man. ima check that as soon as my wife picks me up. i sure hope ur right. cuz if it is the trany (kow) im fcked
11-26-2010
lol, if its the tranny, it feels totally different...kinda hard to explain.
Either way, it sounds very similar to what my car was doing, so hopefully it'll be a good fix for you too
11-26-2010
Just a tip, you might already know this. The easiest way to spot arcing is to park the car somewhere really dark at night, like an unlit parking lot or something, pop the hood with the car idling and have a look, have someone with you to rev the engine as well, you'll be able see any sparks easily.
11-26-2010
cool. am i looking at the boots?
11-26-2010
You're looking everywhere from the Coil packs, all the way along the plug wires, to the plugs themselves.
11-28-2010
nope. no sparks. i dont ****ing know. i know its not the trany. its like a limiter almost. it just wont go. and it seems to be wors. i feel like it has 1/2 power. im so pissed. ima just buy new wires and hope for the best
11-28-2010
Also, no idea your mods, but if you've got the stock catalytic converter, that could also be it...
11-28-2010

11-28-2010
