Misfire?

07-16-2003, 10:55 PM

my car has about 30k miles. if i'm at 2300 rpm and i put my foot all the way to the ground the car hesitates and shakes. and at about 3700 rpm at WOT it makes kind of a popping noise. does this sound like a misfire? i'm probably going to do plugs and wires tomorrow. oh yeah, can you take your car to pep boys or something like that and have them hook it up to diagnose this problem? if so, how much?

I would say it's plugs and wires. If your car threw a code then you could take it to AutoZone and they will pull the code for free.
