edmonton,
Hi I have looked through the forum here and have read about the upgrades and what not but i have a problem that only comes up now and then, at first i was leaving the mall and it struggle to rev like it was only running on 2 cylinders, and when under accel it bogged and had no power, so when i got come i replaced the plugs problem solved but just to be sure i had read on here about bad wires so i got a set of msd 8.5`s, car ran great then i had an idle surge problem tried lots of things until eventually the idle screw blew out out then i replaced the o ring and put in a new screw, now i still get idle surge when i first start the car and then it idles at about 1500 until i completely stop then it drops to 1000 seems fine, after you rev it and drive it around the city it just out right idles high about 2000 and doesnt drop until i take it out on the highway again or leave it over night, but the thing that only happens now and then is it will cut out when driving down the high way or even in the city at low rpms(drive nicely) it has power and goes on demand if you accelerate only cuts at odd times at about 2500 or so. what is this gremlin is the coil dieing, its to random to take the car in because it doesnt always do it but im afraid it will strand me on the side of the road one day.
if some one has had this problem please direct me to the page if not then any help would be appreiciated
p.s
at times it has struggles to idle and bogged when try to rev it and has turned on the engine light but this is even rarer and after its been accelerated under load it stopped doing that.
