BTW... being new to the forum..

The club found that Bosch plugs and wires do not last long and do not help our cars run good at all.

Don't know why...they just don't.

Recommened brands are:
NGK plugs
AC Delco Plugs
AC Delco Wires
Napa Belden Wires..

All good stuff.

NGK or AC Delco plugs (they're the same).

Try Belden wires at NAPA. Cheaper than OEM and at least as good.

Wire diameter will make no difference for you.

I have a similar car to you, same engine transmission, and year and have a similar type of problem with a studder/shaking/etc at low RPM when the TC is locked or supposed to be locked.

So far I have done:

replaced Plugs, many differetn kinds
repalced wires, 2 different kinds
replaced maf
replaced tps
replaced coils even tho they were the same resistance before and after
cleaned throttle body
replaced o2 sensor
replace CAT with magnaflow
replaced all tires, balanced at multiple shops

after all that the car runs freakin perfect but the shudder still exists


what I am doing this weekend:

EGR valve and ICM

Does your problem go away when you press the gas and raise the RPM or put load on the trans?

How about the cat? I had similiar issues but they were more pronounced. Turned out the cat was clogged and the backpreassure was killing it under heavy loads (WOT from a stop or cruising at hwy speeds).

It sounds like the same thing, when the tork converter is locked and put a little gas on it, it starts doing it and when i put more gas it gets worse, but as soon as the tork convert unlocks it stop. it does it the wors when the RPM is around 1,500-1,700 (locked)

Hey Bandit did you check your coils , if not check the resistance of each coil with a multi meter , tthe procedure is in techinfo.
Hans you should get yours scanned , sounds like your spending lots on good parts.
