tonight I was driving my car around 95 RS...and I stepped on it and it felt like I lost power for a split second and then it surged power again..whats the deal with that can anybody help me...and whats fuel cut? could it be that? where do I start? and I think it did this when it was semi cold or warm because my temp gauge what just shy of 1/2 way...thankz in advance for any help...
 
I just bought a brand new pair of NGK wires a couple of days ago and I put them in...my plugs where put in by a shop...what are they suppose to be gapped at? is there an easier gaper I could use...other than that stupid circle thing...my fuel filter hasn't been changed in awhile and I was going to do that this weekend along with radiator flush..and what is fuel cut? I hear alot about it..
 
could very well just be a boost leak. My GST did that for a while after I cleaned out the IC. The clamp from the UIP and SMIC was loose and leaking
 
Could still be wires or plugs. And i believe like 32-34 is wat they need to be gapped at, dont quote me though.

I had same problem, changed plugs and fixed it.
 
wires are new.....and they are not loose
Plugs should be gapped to oem spec...which I will check tomorrow

but what about the fuel filter?

anything else I should check..I highly doubt they are the plug though...
