i just had a tune up done, new plugs and ignition module and all, the ? is , when the guy put the spark plug wires in two of them on the passanger side are over laping each other like touching and im sure they are touching on the driver side as well, can this cause a misfire? i was confused cause i told him how they are not bare or they dont have any splices where the wires can touch from the inside? but is that possible is he right?

ok this is whats happening to the car, when i floor it the car goes no where then kicks in then kicks out?? like the boost pattern is complete goof up?
FUEL PUMP?? i dont know what the deal is can someone help me

Are they stock wires, or aftermarket?

Sounds like a missfire to me.

Why did you take it to someone to have them do it?

Could be. I'd upgrade that anyway. So after you do this see if the problem went away. ;)

This could be a misfire that shows up under load...depends on what quality the wires are.
Really good wires would not be likely to do this, but poor quality ones might. Any engine will tend to misfire more under load, a boosted one is even more so. Would not hurt to check fuel pressure too, just in case.

Does it "boug" or does it totaly loose power?
Is it only in first gear or all gears?
does it happen at highway speed if you floor it?

really need more info to help you out.

That gave me a idea. You might be going lean when you hit the gas causing this. Just a thought. My truck likes to go lean sometimes (only when its really hot outside I've noticed lately..:hmm: ) to like 19, or even 20.8 on my o2 read out. It will kind of stumble a little bit and then pick back up and go rich the more I get into it like it should. (doesnt last but a sec at the most.) Just a thought. :2cents: :2cents:

He used UR5s and Taylor wires if I remember correctly. Dunno what they were gapped to.

My thoughts are ignition and/or fuel pump.

Ignition parts were just (2-3 weeks ago) replaced and he said it did run well right after they were replaced.

It sounds fuel related to me.

Re: need some advice :)

i order the fuel pump and the kit so im going to see if that helps, i was hoping to fix it before buying but i figure its 12 years old and might go better to have it handy :)
