Only at idle.. When i pull to a red light it run's fine but u feel quick little studders and sometimes when i take off fast u can feel a studder and i just noticed at idle everytime it does the quick little studder the rpm drops just a little bit.. i wanna fix it soon before it gets worse.. Any clue guys? i have newer spark plugs so thats not the problem.. What could it be?

Well i know it's bad but no not always the way gas prices are i sometimes can't afford it.. im sure i'll hear stuff for that lol.. But i've had this car for quit a while and it just started happening.. Also i'll check the wires in the morning and if that's not my problem i know a guy that has a machine that'll clean all my injectors and fule lines..

sounds like my problem but I think mine might be worse :'( If I'm under 2k rpm's I can only give it like an eighth of a pedal or it will cut out.

i have been fighting something like that for about 6 months, i changed and teasted about everything, today i fixed it, i was told to look for oil in the plugwells and i had none, but i remembered when i put on the new plugs and wires i put alot of grease on them so i was having the same problem as oil but without it, i found out the hard way not to use to much grease. i hope this helps

Mine started acting kinda like that, but it was hesitating, and not always the same, it was weird. It happened after I replaced my fuel pump, but not related, I thought it was. It ended up being my crank pulley/harmonic balancer was coming apart, the rubber between the 2 parts of that pulley.

May not be your problem, but get in there and check that pulley and see if the outer part of the pulley is "walking" towards the timing cover. At least for the sake of eliminating that as a possibility. :thumb:

Try the idle reset procedure. Make sure A/C and headlights are on when you do it.
