    So heres the prob..
    get in
    starts up drives down the road
    if the peddle is a little bit down = runs fine
    if the peddle is full throttle = runs fine
    if the peddle is 1/2 throttle,it will lunge..hesitate and then lunge again..untill i get out of it.
    tranny isnt slipping ..its somthing else..It seems like its fuel-timing issue..Any one else with a prob like this?

    *Engine - 3sfe

    check for vacuum leaks or leaks in the intake tract. sounds like your culprit.

    Yes - The wire that runs on the inside, and touchs the sleeve, that clamps onto the plug- that wire was broken? and it sparked thru the tube that goes in the head. :wink:

    I pulled the plugs one at a time and evey time the idle went to crap so the wires are all good..and no, No oil in the plug holes

    Its the sensor on the back of the manifold, its a little square black box, with a small ass screw on the top and bottom, you turn it clockwise or counter clockwise. One way leans your engine, the other richens it. Its probably out of spec. My GTS ran like CRAP especially at low rpm.

    It is right next to the idle screw.
