so today i was driving my car home from my friend's house and noticed something different while i was driving. upon acceleration, the car would kind of buck and hesitate while it climbed in RPM's. It would accelerate fine until i gave it a little more gas and once it hit the 2200 mark it almost always would buck. My spark plugs are relatively new and my wires/cap/distributor are not quite 2 years old, so I was thinking the fuel filter could be the culprit. One thing i noticed was that my car always smelled like gas from the exhaust... and if the car cannot provide adequate fuel for the A/F ratio when i press the gas pedal down, it makes sense to me that something like this would happen.
I am in no way an experienced mechanic so this is just my guess. I've got a crappy video i took off of my cell phone to help you guys understand more. Notice the sluggishness at about 3 seconds and 10 seconds into the video... Any Suggestions?

xrav listed the issue i had as well...a connector that was loose. Check connections well.
another time i got the issue, it was due to a knock sensor's death, but this shouldn't be your issue...mine was s-afc complications This post has been edited by Consynx: Mar 30, 2009 - 11:48 PM --------------------  |
