    Are you going to the same gas station every time? Maybe they just have really ****ty gas.

    Changed your wires. I have never liked those, try finding some OEMs

    well maybe you could explain a little better... but if it is kind of sputtering or sounding like it is missing, check the coil and/or the ignition control module... if the tach is fluctuating when it is doing this its probably the coil

    i dont think the tac was fluctuating when it happend. it just sorta revs and feels liek its choking. i let the gas go for a sec and when i hit it again it sometimes goes normal again. im wondering if i should drive it tomorrow because i need to go to work. and that is an hour drive away.

    this is very similar to wut my car is doing. it is cutting out badly also but when i changed the spark plugs it hasnt happend but once and it wasnt as bad as before i hadnt changed the spark plugs. it started doing it on the highway and i just drove with it so i can get to my destination and check it. but it started getting worse when i got off the ramp. it got to the point where the check engine light came on. as soon as i changed the spark plugs i reset the battery and the check engine light hasnt come on since. i think it is the spark plug wires.

    god damn high performance wires are ****!


    can any1 help?!

    whats wrong with oem wires? Try putting some fuel injector cleaner in the tank. When is the last time you changed the fuel filter? I had a similar problem after going to a gas station. Also there was crud near the distributor. When i cleaned that area, it went away.

    ok so about a week ago i took it to this shop and they checked everything out and couldnt find out the problem. i told them i think its the distributor cap and they "supposedly" changed it. (bs) and they changed the fuel filter. the car was running fine but later that day it got even worse and just completely cut off. had to push the car to the side and it wouldnt even start. so it was in the shop and found out the block is cracked and the headgasket is blown.
