Today, while accelerating, my car started to 'stutter' a little bit. It was kind of odd. Then it started to do it repeatedly everytime I'd accelerate moderately hard. Would this be a fouled out plug? Is this a normal symptom of having to change plugs? The car has 89k miles on it and I dont know if the previous owner ever got them changed.. Should I replace the wires as well? How much am I looking at spending? I really hate to do this since I'm swapping in the 3S, but it is my only car and I need it running until the day of the swap!
Thanks, Yota --------------------  |

Thanks, Yota [right][snapback]266194[/snapback][/right] Sounds like some bad gas to me. I'd replace everything anyway though. But that's just the way I do things. Better to fix it before it breaks than to get stranded somewere, or have your car all screwed up. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy
