Misfire on acceleration (95SE)
I have a 95 SE non sc.
Recently I have noticed a misfire on acceleration. It seems to feel a little "choppy" and flat from a stoplight with moderate pedal or heavy pedal. FWIW, I have a new fuel pump and filters, tune-up is about a year old. I also dont think its bad gas.
Could this be an ignition issue?? Possibly coils??
Thanks in advance for your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plugs were replaced with the tune-up. 15000 miles ago....
Havent checked them, though.
Anyone had a problem with coils??? What were the symptoms???

Most of the time the coils either work or they don't. Much like a fuel pump.
I'd be willing to bet that the issue is in one of your plug wires. Check the resistance of each plug wire. If it'* out of the specs (as detailed in a Chilton'*) then replace the faulty wire. Or, to make things simple, replace them all.
Are you getting a check engine light? If so, scan the codes.

Yes, I agree with Vital. Check your plugs. Sounds like a faulty wire of coil pack.
For wires I might suggest getting some very nice Belden Premium wires from your local NAPA. Also for the 8mm wires you will want to request them for a 1994 Bonneville with the Series I because if you request for a 1995 Series II you will get smaller 7MM wires and they'll be an extra couple dollars. The 1994 Series I wires will work just fine and are about 1 inch shorter than the Series II wires which I found are about 5 inches too long on the rear bank wires.
