Default Help please...do I have a problem????????

I was driving around today...raced my bro again...the car drove normal for several fast starts.

Then a few minutes later I accelerated quickly, not too hard, but fast and steady. The car jerked and stuttered/hesitated the whole accleration up to at least 70mph. It worried the hell out of me.

I have new Taylor wires and new plugs so that can't be it. It did this the next several times I accelerated. The rpms didn't change much when it was stuttering, but the car was jerking forward, etc. I thought it was something with the fuel.

Anyway, I turned the car off to see if it would happen after I restarted. And it went away. After I started it again it didn't do it anymore!! WTF was that stuttering?!!!!!???

I appreciate anything anyone can tell me. Thanks!!

Another thing that may help...I just installed my ADTR intake Mon. night. Maybe the PCM is 'learning' the new intake? I can't think of anything since it stopped after I restarted. :?

Doesn't sound like it, maybe timing even? Who knows.... Crazyness. PCM coulda had a hickup as well.

I had that same problem in my car ... I revved it up and raced this car down across the bridge... when i got to the end the car was running wierd.. when i went to take off.. it would seem the car would have eratic revs at the shift points and would have a hard time running, Ireplaced my maf sensor and it went away.... 2 days before i had cleaned it out and must have done something to it...

So I'm guessing I don't have a huge problem then? I'm going to clean my TB soon. My MAF screen is removed now so I might as well. I'll make sure to take the sensor off.

I drove it today and it is fine, no stuttering or anything. Maybe just a fluke. :?
