Sudbury,
Hey, If anyone has any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I've already taken it to the shop and they couldn't find anything wrong:(

Lately I've noticed when I start the car feels like something kicking back, you don't feel it once its running. Also as I am backing out of driveway from a cold start I rev in reverse and then put it into neutral the car drops to about 100-200rpm which either stalls or almost stalls. And now I'm hearing a "sputtering" noise coming from passenger side/underneath/glove box area, and runs poorly. Any suggestions, I'm taking it in again, but if you guys can think of anything it would be cool.
Thanks
 
Unfortunately, I don't have an answer, just here to say my car does the same thing. But I also know that i'm running rich and need to plugs.
 
Sure I can. It's pretty much everything like you're describing. If I don't let the car warm up for a few minutes, the rpms drop extremely low whenever I drive for a few seconds and put the car in neutral. Like backing out of a parking spot or if I only need to give it a little gas and need to stop it does it too. But the only sputtering i get is when i get a little agressive on the gas and let off all the way then get back on the gas again... it's like the bogs or something, then sputters, then everything kicks in and i get slammed into my seat LOL. the car doesn't really vibrate at all unless i'm in 2nd gear and let the rpms drop to low... i'm not sure if this is normal or not since it's my first manual car :confused:

But in the next few months I'm hoping I can save up enough money for a logger and SAFC and if that does fix everything then new plugs/wires
