what r the symptoms of BAD COILPACKS?

my rpms and my engine doesnt seem to accelerate correctly.....the rpms seems very jumpy....i just replaced my fuel filter and knock sensor.....the engine and rpm is fine until i give it more gas (faster acceleration)....i dont kno what the problem is....i brought my car to autozone to check for codes but the only thing that popped up was knock sensor....but thats always goin to be there....since our cars have this "ghost code".....

the only thing i can think of right now that might be wrong is either my clutch or my coil packs?

any ideaS?.....i really dont wanan bring it to the stealership and have them rape me and tell me the wrong thing....

slight hesistations. when your at a stop sign, and let go of the brakes, and your car will jerk back and forth.

If the only code your getting is the KS code, then change your knock sensor.
