Car Jumping

[eZD]

Hey guys,

I have a new problem. While driving today I noticed under hard throttle the car wouldn't seem to respond. This was happening between 30-50 km/h. Also I heard a popping sound, but not every time. Any advice??

is this only when its cold, first thing in the morning, 'coz if so, then i think i've got the same prob.

Sounds like the infamous ignition problem. Most people that have had this problem clear it up with a plug/wire swap.

I second that, the pop is a backfire.. been there done that.. you should be getting a service engine soon light if you not then you will.. if you already have a light go get it scanned and see what cylinder is misfiring.. one word of caution though.. while we all try to help as much as we can it could be something other than a plug wire problem, it could be a coil gone bad or something further up the line in the electrical system...

I have had wires go bad/burn and a little over a year later I had a coil go bad and they acted almost exactly the same....

plug wires is the most likely culprit though..

I'd guess that too, a few weeks after I first bought my car it was doing that. Does it also seem sluggish too? Mine just felt really really weak, then I got the plugs and wires changed. It made a night and day difference and the popping went away. So I'd side with the other guesses too.
