my car is having a problem in second and third gear and sometimes forth when accelerating .. it will start bucking and just keep at it whenever im in those gears.. my mechanic did the spark plugs, wires, coilpack, and fuel pressure regulator and it keeps at it .. it's going back into the shop monday to be checked out again but i was just wondering if anyone had any ideas .. engine was rebuilt like 3 months ago ..the car has 140000 miles on it and it has the origninal tranny in it .. new headers/clutch/etc

Well HMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I just posted a WTB on some Magnecore Wires on the Sales forum/section.
I'm gonna try unplugging it & putting it back in as well 2 C if it's the prob. What Xactly is the MAP, background, consequences?
I've got 3 other friends here who have 97-99 Eclipses: Me & 2 of my 3 friends R all having the same freaking stuttering prob & it's driving us nuts!
I've already got brand new NGK BKR5E-11 (or whatever) 1 hot range hotter as they've been in there a bit (don't remember what the adv is, just been using 1 hot range hotter now on my past 2 Eclipsi). Replaced my Valve Cover Gasket ~1yr ago, no oil. I 2 am trying 2 replace the wires, then coilpack, then fuel regulator. All I can think is that it's either an ignition or fuel prob. MayB 2 much fuel?
P.S. Any1 know where I can buy some NEW Magnecore 8.5mm plug wires?
P.P.S. My wires Rn't that old, I replaced them probably a year ago (cheap AutoZone stuff, NOT Magnecore or NGK)
P.P.P.S. I MADE my car stutter 2day, was in 4th gear @ ~2k RPM's going like 30mph... my CEL light flashed real quick (4 the 1st time) & then just went away. I'm hoping 2 get the code @ AutoZone 2 C what the prob is.

Well, I just got back from AutoZone... Cylinder #2 Misfire. Already ordered the mag wires just a min ago. I also unplugged the MAP & plugged it back in (w/ car on ) & it did noticably help but U can still tell the prob is there, just not as bad. I don't suppose there's any way 2 actually replace that sensor as it C'ms 2 B in the manifold permanently
P.S. Sorry 4 the little hijack of the thread, same prob

well the engine light came on because my mechanic disconnected my pcv valve .. that fixed my problem completely so far he told me to let it run like this for a few days then we'll try pluggin it back in to see if it bucks again then i guess replace that... my problem was definately fixed tho when that valve was disconnected ..
