Hey guys, so I finally got my car back from my accident. After having it back for a week (running perfect) I’m having problems accelerating and at idol. The problem is that it feels like the car is misfiring, when you accelerate it feels like its only running on some of the pistons and shakes and bucks, but I don’t have a check engine light for a misfire or anything. When I am at idol you can feel and hear the shaking a little. What do you think, spark plugs/boots, fuel injectors?
Thanks,

Could be tons of things.

Is it running rich?...engine lights?

02 sensors, maybe even bad gas along with everything you listed.

It doesnt look like its running rich, theres a A/F guage, and no engine lights at all.
I was wondering if it was bad gas to. Whats the best thing to do, take and get it checked out?

Coolant in the spark plug valleys

Any smoke?

How would coolant have gotten in the valleys, bad gasket?
No no smoke.

its a common problem upon our cars.. just pull a few boots out whenever you have some downtime and insepct them for wetness. try the driver's side front two for sure.. i've had problems with those before. it doesn't take much for it to screw up your igniton cycle.

Try a can of that gas dry **** that any local auto store should have...

I had that problem once and it was gas.
