hesistation effecting times
ive got a little hesistation from a coil thats going bad in my car now, and dad wont pay for a replacement untill the hesistation is more noticable 
. but anyways, the hesistation occurs around the 4k-4.5k range in second gear only and when at wot. and i was wondering how much this will effect my times and performance when im racing at the track. also when im racing is it better for me to shift to third right when the hesistation starts, or should i just stick it out and ride it till redline like normal?

Honestly, a stock 97-99 SE with slight hesitations due to bad coil(s) WILL lose to a stock 97 honda civic EX.
I just don't get it, must you really race when your coils are bad? That is very stupid - Don't do it, what's the point of racing a 1/4 mile if you know your times ARE going to really really suck!?

I agree with BOSS, there is no need to race until you get them fixed. I have the same problem, but I have not had a chance to fix them due to a broken arm . I was wanting to go to the track and see my time (never have), but it is pointless with a coil(s) acting up.

yeah i guess i can put up with my friend saying just how bad he could whip me in his 2000 eclipse gs. and i agree it wouldnt make much sense to race him now anyways, cause then he would end up being right. oh well i guess i can stick it out.
also i dont think its my knock sensor because i just recently got a new one. and NmexMAX where do you buy your $60 coils from?
