I have a very noticeable 'puff puff poof' like sound coming from the pass. side tailpipe, not from both.
Got more pronounced within the last two weeks or so.
Would a bad coil cause the car to act retarded only at particular rpms?
Like, if im in 5th, and go with cruise control at 1600 rpms, i get jerk, lurch, jerk lurch, second of stable throttle, jerk lurch...
even w/o CC though, that was just to make a point...[&o]

is the exhaust sound normal, or is "missing" with the engine. If the ehaust sounds funny, you have fuel, air,and/or spark delivery problems, if not, its something else.

i forgot.. a big part of it was also my K&N filter seal was seperating. the rubber part that faces toward the filter itself was seperating and leaving gaps. i dunno why this would screw sh*t up, but when i replaced it, it got about 70% better.
