Hey guys,
heres the scoop, i just changed my plugs figuring this was doing it. it wasnt...when the car is driving (warm or cold) and im at a steady speed the car skips(misses) until i take my foot off the pedal the reaccerlerate.also when i "get on it" it will go to about 4000 rpms, then hold that for about 20 seconds or so before shifting but the car does not gain any speed...can someone help me with this please?

 

Coil going bad maybe?
Any SES lights or were any of the plugs "weathered" more than the others?

 

No my other plugs were iridium and 5 months old. All in good shape. You think bad coil huh? How do I figure out what coil it is?

 

sounds like a maf problem. Clean it up first with a maf sensor cleaner and if that doesn't help, replace it.

 

it sounds like the speed control sensor on the tranny.costs about $110.

 

will the speed control sensor make the car skip like its misfiring?

 

and ive already cleaned my MAF im not getting any CEL codes or light...

 

yes when it's now going it also won't shift from first even at 4000rpm then picks up an work fine for a short while then goes.

 

My car shifts fine at any rpm except 4000. More or less its skipping at cruising speeds and under load uphill anyone else got ideas? How do I test the coils to see if they are bad?

 

what do u mean by misfiring?

either could be speed control sensor or throttle position sensor no?

or possible the iac/tb?

 

When I say misfiring I mean it skips and sputters at any idle speed
