Hesistant 0-2.5k rpm's + no pep in 3rd gear
Ive been suspecting a combination of coil packs and a faulty knock sensor being the problem, but i want to be sure.
When I go out for a drive, 0 - 2500 rpms is jerky, hesistant and kind of puts along. from 2500 - 3000 seems to clear up and ride just fine. 3rd gear is horrible, theres like no power. I could floor the car and it will continue at it's same pace until reaching around 2500 rpms. Im also getting the terrible rotten egg smell from the catylic converter when the car jerks or misfires.
Diagnosis?

That doesn't tell you anything about the KS. Check the codes and see if there are any even though the light's not on.
