| i seriously doubt it is the s/c. it likely the plugs or wires acting up. please include the mileage b/c depending on how high it could be the torque converter or another tranny component breaking. _________________ 1996 with 254k miles, L32 4" FWI -> ported N* -> Ported Gen V w/3.0" Pulley, Stage 3 Phenolic I/C, ZZP FMHE, 1.84 RR, Headers and 3" pipe to mufflers, F-body brakes, and lowered on Eibachs. -RIP AMG C400 White on black.

| I concur, sounds like plug wires and plugs. Unrelated to your current issue but I'd change the fuel filter while you're at it. Later, I'd seafoam it. Be sure you use premium fuel after your tune up too. | |

| Yep, do the simple stuff first, plugs and wires, fuel filter. Have you opened the air box to see if the air filter is clean or clogged up ?
Go with AC Delco wires, they've proven reliable over the long haul. | |

| Sounds like a bad plug. Triple check plugs and wires. | |
