for the past week or so, ive developed a worsening case of stuttering/hesitation which resolves into power surges every now and then. first thought: plugs/wires/coil yadayadayada. i wasnt too worried about it (i can still get around) so ive put off buying the new components. plus my ex somehow mustve ended up w/ my multimeter when we split up so i cant really test anything GRRR!!!
a couple of days ago, i noticed a different sound: a popping that seems to come from right underneath my feet below the floorboard. it doesnt happen during idle (the stuttering does though), so its impossible for me to really localize it. it sounds like a person cracking a knuckle loudly, lol. it happens when im accelterating, never at steady throttle or idle. is that an intake backfire?!?!? i cant explain it, but im hoping its not a mechanical issue, or somthing else unrelated to my other problem. any ideas?
oh yea, and this is a DOHC neon, lol. not quite the same trans/drivetrain as the eclipse..but close enough.
