Hello again.

I changed the plugs, went with Bosch Platinums +, changed the fuel filter, oil change, pulled the sensors and cleaned them, the car runs like a champ but when I drive gently, going into 3rd gear only, it stutters and misses, very slight but noticable. If I drive it hard it doesn't do it.

Any suggestions? I am new to these cars and cant quite figure it out.

thanks

Get rid of those plugs and get some NGKs. I've had those in my gst and it did the same thing. I did a test of all the plugs that i had at work and those along with e3 plugs really suck.

As stated start with the plugs. Although the Bosch is a great plug and being non turbo your car doesn't demand a plug as much as the turbo one's you need to stick with what the factory recommends. How bad is the studder/misfire? Could you track it and see which cylinder is misfiring? If it is real bad it should pop an MIL light.

It is only around 3k rpm. It will even backfire sometimes around that rpm range, other than that it runs perfect.
I'm getting ready to drive 2k miles for the holidays so I gotta get it running perfect. No MIL lights, check engine correct?

Dang, those plugs were over 4$ a piece, I will go back to the NGK then.

I just rebuilt my clutch master cylinder tonite. New one was 65$, the rebuild kit was 13$. LOL, no brainer and boy, changing the belts is a ***** ! LOL I hope i never have to do that again.

Put the NGK copper plugs in it tonite, runs perfect again. LOL

Wow, I wouldn't of thunk it at all. Thanks for the advice bro.
