so yesterday and today i noticed that when i go to start the car it barely starts and sounds like its not fireing on all 6 cyclinders. then it will slowly pick up and correct itself. i had replaced the battery already so i dont think its that. im thinking either has something to do with the car getting fuel or something else. anyone have any imputs? ps: it did it this morning and instead of letting it correct itself i shut it off. when i went to start it again it took a few seconds for it to start. then it seemed ok. fuel pump? sensors? what? ---

id look at smaller simpler stuff like, plugs, or ignition wire connections, maybe something is loose? my eclipse had problems like that and i found a rusted connector on the coil pack. idk what the vr6 ignition is set up like(i never dealt with one), but take a look there, maybe something is just gummed up? ---

I think the 1.8t’s have a different coil set up then the vr6’s. Brett would know the best.Search vortex real quick ---

one of the plugs on mine had a rusted metal connector. take a look into one of those tubes with like a flash light, maybe theres some oxidation or something in there, check out your plug wires. it would suck if u went out and started to buy all these new expensive parts jut to find out you had to replace one cheap wire. ---
