Hey guys,
I have a problem with my car sputtering while in traffic. Basically when im in bumper to bumper traffic, and im constantly on the clutch, after about 5-10 stop and go, the car acts like it no longer wants to accelerate and just sputters until I push the pedal almost to the floor. It usually happens in 1st and 2nd.
Ive read some other threads but most seem to be related to turbo models.
History:
The only thing ive done to the car is:
-Changed the valve cover to my newly painted one
-changed spark plugs
-changed wires
I have MSD wires and NGK plugs. I read later that NGK spark plugs are more recommended for the turbo models.
I don't have and lights or codes coming up.
Thanks
EDIT: also, my car does like to drop RPMs and sometimes stalls in traffic as well. I can go from 2000 down to 200 while stopping. AC also surges my engine at idle almost stalling it.
