 Breaking up thru 1st and 2nd @ 4-5K Like the title says, it breaks up really bad and it feels like I hit fuel cut. It happens especially when I want to WOT 1st gear....it would pull into 5K then theres no power......shift into 2nd.....runs into 4-5K no power and struggles to climb rpms. I just replaced all the spark plugs and the plug wires are still new. Could it be the ignition coils? I tried searching this on Tuner's and it all goes back to the ignition system. Just want some input.

Re: Breaking up thru 1st and 2nd @ 4-5K What did you gap the spark plugs to, what kind of plugs did you get, and how much boost are you running?

Re: Breaking up thru 1st and 2nd @ 4-5K Do your self a favor do a boost leak test . In most cases when Dsm s. Run crappy it's because of a boost leak start with that before you start taking the car apart

Re: Breaking up thru 1st and 2nd @ 4-5K Yup, sounds like a boost leak after the MAF to me. The sputtering you're feeling is probably from running pig rich because all that lovely compressed air is escaping!

Re: Breaking up thru 1st and 2nd @ 4-5K yup, especially if it happens moreso at WOT as compared to just cruising or low throttle.

Re: Breaking up thru 1st and 2nd @ 4-5K When was the last time you changed your fuel filter? I have a similar issue but it happens randomly when cruisin low throttle.

Re: Breaking up thru 1st and 2nd @ 4-5K I've cracked a coil before. First off, what plugs did you get, and what did you gap them to. 2nd. Drive somewhere dark, pop the hood, turnoff the headlight. Look under the hood for a lighting show.
