Default low rpm hesitation/stuttering


I have a 99 gt that sputters/misses when i give it more than 1/4 throttle at below 2000 rpm, I know this could probably be alot of things and I'll probably end up taking it to the shop next week, but any ideas?

Yeah, have your coil over plugs checked. I have a 99 GT and the intake bursted on me and it continously kept water on my spark plugs causing three of my COP to stop working (ie: three cylinders were not firing). Mine would shudder especially bad when it was in fifth gear and any gas was applied.

Hope this helps

I had the dealership check it out, and they replaced one of the coils, but it didn't make a difference, and at $250 for one I would be hesitant to replace the other seven.
