Well I got the new one installed and wow I have had not one problem with the car since I put it on. No hesitation or stalling out like it was doing. It also gave the car a little more pickup so from what I can tell my just driving it my problems I was having has seem to go away. Thanks yall for all the helpful advice yall offered.

Dev you jumped on a post with a different car, engine, and symptom......should have started your own....

One question I have, is it jerking(transmission) or does it feel like a misfire(engine)?

If you were to go on the highway, and cruise at 55mph, approach a slight grade, and then lightly accelerate(so it doesn't drop down to 3rd), and you feel a misfire, then the first thing I would do is pull the wires off one at a time from the coil terminals, and look for arcing(black)/corrosion(brownish) on the terminal and inside the contact of the ignition wire......the terminal can be sanded clean, and try to clean the contact of the ignition, and pinch it for a tighter fit.....apply dielectric grease, and road test.....otherwise you may have to replace the coil and wires(I would replace the plugs also if not recently replaced).....

if you don't see anything, then I would get a spark tester, to check coil output at each terminal......



if output is ok, then replace plugs and wires....do you have any idea how long the plugs/wires have been on the engine? Are the plugs OEM?
