Well outta curiousity i took out the coil pack, removed the old washers i used to tighten it down, made sure the rubber boot was clean, then reinstalled and tightened with new washers. Felt pretty secure. Went and drove around for 30 min, car didnt **** up once.

Coincidence? I think not.

Seriously tho, i never thought that it coulda been the culprit. Weird.[&:] KINDA LOOSE COIL PACK: When you least expect it, expect it.

RE: Remember that issue i had with the car jerking and stuff?

well, looks like the coil tightening didnt do the trick... [:@] On the way to jims yesterday, the car ****ed up for a bit. Because it takes the car a while for it to **** up, and it seems to start after the temperature needle has been at the halfway point for a bit, a friend suggested the coolant temp sensor was ****ed. Is this a possibility? If so, how could it be messing up my car under heavy acceleration, as in, preventing me from doin it?
