Ok so this has been going on for awhile and seeing who could look at it to help diagnose the problem. Nasioc was clueless about this so it’s local now… At first it was just the 1-2 shift around 2500rpms that it would bog down like a lack of fuel (like turbo lag when it spools and then BAM kicks in). Now its doing it after its been warmed up and in any gear. I thought maybe I got a bad thing of gas out in Michigan, but on the way home it would do this stuttering crap in any gear at lots of rpm’s. It’s like your giving it gas and its not moving and then all of a sudden (with the window down) you can hear a loud click and bam it jumps hard. So after I got back and was on the last bit of gas from Michigan, I refilled at Sunoco down the street (which never has given me a problem) and its still doing it. I bought some octane booster just incase more shitty gas, or if water got in there somehow. And still doing it… I am dumbfounded. I was thinking maybe a clogged fuel filter or dirty injectors, however the fuel filter was put on about 5k ago at Hybrid. Anybody wanna take a look at it tonight (I’m out of work at 945pm) or tomorrow (I don’t go in to work until 1:15pm) ---

check to see of theres more than one fuel filter (sounds crazy, but some cars have it), if not then im going with redrum on a plug/plugwire/coil issue, and from there id maybe even suggest a bad fuel pump, however if that was the case i think it would have died a while ago. ---

Sounds to me like you are getting too much fuel or not enough spark. Check plugs and wires first. ---

> [@JDMR2](#): > > nope, only one on a 2.5, and its right up next to the motor so its super easy to inspect and replace… Yup, its right in the right corner of the bay. Brand new and shiny so I didnt suspect that as a problem Plug wires were brand new also the day before I bought it. So I’ll definately try the plugs/wires later. Anybody not doing anything tonight with a garage/light available? ---

It does sound like you have fouled a plug, I get the same thing, and since you probably don’t have a mechanical advance I would lean towards checking you plugs/wires ---

man, that sucks ry, sorry you are having problems with it. like you said, the plugs, wires, and fuel filter are all new as of november, the week before you bought the car; however, you could have fouled out a plug, or a wire could be faulty…i would probably get the car to hybrid instead of pulling your hair out with it… good luck, and shoot me a pm and let me know what happens. ---

I have a plug puller, thats not the point. I think I know how to pull plugs/wires haha. The point is I wanna check the o2 sensor which isnt exactly sitting on top of the motor. Plus its freezing outside and my parking lot has little to no lighting. ---

I acutally have the same problem with my vw. I havnt had a chance to pull the plugs yet but I think that is whats wrong because my car runs extremely rich and I have a feeling the plug are gummed up and arent getting enough spark. Mine does it in low rpm 2nd and 3rd gear. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2-5rs-help/23721.md?page=2)
