Ok.... I'm back. I got most of the problems with this damn car fixed, but now when you first start it up in the morning it kinda idles rough then smooths out for about 1 min. then the rpm's go up and down(about 200 rpm) for about 30 seconds then levels out. Once in a while it will spudder but only when the gas is pressed fast. After the car has been run for a while and is turned off and restart it it goes fine, sometimes at a stop and you punch it it will spin the tires across the intersection and sometimes it will spudder and go, but if you press the gas steady it takes off. Would any one know what could cause this?, i've had a ton of stuff done to this already so there's not too much more i can do.

I was cleaning the car and i noticed there is a wet spot under the pressure regulator. I'm assuming it's bad, but can that cause my problem?

Well I have kind of a similar problem. When I start in the morning (especially when it's cold) it'll kind of shudder like it's wanting to shut off or something but most of the time it stays on. It also stutters like that when it's gonna switch gears... I think youve had that problem before? Did you ever get it fixed? Thanks.

Murph, Yours sounds like a tune problem. I don't recall having a shudder when shifting gears, mine would do it at a steady speed and if i pressed or took my foot off the gas it would stop. The first thing i would check is the coil housing. Look for thin black lines or dark shaded areas between boots.If you have any of these, replace the part.Try that and let me know... or e-mail me so we're not wasting the forums. i've done a ton of stuff to my car so i can probably figure it out.
