'91 Talon with an Accerating Problem...sputtering?

[aaronmaley]

Hello, recently my talon has been acting up. i've never had any problems with it and there are no upgrades, bone stock w/turbo. Anyways, my problem is this: any kind of acceleration above grandma speed results in a type of sputtering or missing. at first i thought my clutch was slipping, but i had it checked out and it's not it. i notice that when the turbo guage reaches about 0 boost is when the car starts acting funny, so i related the problem with the turbo. i can drive down interstate or at any constant speed with no problem, only when i accelerate does it act up....another note, i can leave the car in park or neutral and rev the engine and there is no sputter.....what's the problem!??!?!

First thing first, boost leak test.

That should be your signature oldman

After the boost leak test if you're results are good and you're still experiencing the problem look at your ignition system.
Good=20 psi for a steady 30 seconds or more.
-Coil pack
-Spark plugs
-Plug wires

Went to Florida... just got back not to long ago.
I went from 94° to -17° that sucks....

Every time that I have experienced this problem (3 times on 3 different cars) it has been plug wires.
