my 11 and her stumble on acceleration

For the longest time I was getting a stumble whenever I punched on the highway. I had replaced a coil with a new one a few months ago, and came to conclusion that coil was meant for a justa. I replaced it a Delphi unit.

The stumbles kept coming and started to happen more often.

We ran a driving test and we found misfires on 2 3 and 4, the newest coil was on 1. I swapped 1 with 2 and took her out for a beat down on the highway. Misfires on 1 3 and 4.

We ordered up some new coils, love the jobber prices on these things 33 buck. Rockauto has them for 24 bucks.

So, now she runs like a beast. I can say I never felt her pull like that before.

I shutoff the TC and punched it without sport mode, she lit the tires up with no stumbles, and she put a big grin on my face.
