Hey

This only happend twice so far, but sometimes when im waiting at a red light and I step on the pedal the car jittered and kinda felt like it was gonna stall but it just kinda like pickedup .. I dont know a weird feeling to it.. and than it goes agian.. this happend twice so far!

Could it be a gasline problem?
Or Fuel Injector problem?

I heard that the V8`s tend to do this once in a while.

My car does that constantly, I would really like to know what is going on with it.

However, I was just reading this page. If you go to the very bottom of it, I think we can start trouble shooting from there.

By the way, this guy has a TON of information about TBI related stuff. I just finished reading nearly the entire website, and, I feel like I want to stick with my L03!

That guy is a great reporter but don't take his word on everything. Check out the cam shaft part and you can tell he doesn't know squat. Other than that it's a nice site if you're REALLY bored at work. Better reads would be to do a search on the forum for specific words and even member names.
As for the stumble part and jitter, when was the last time you changed your fuel filter? Running lean can cause jitter problems every once in a while. Do you have to take your foot off the gas for the problem to go away?

"Used by the computer to determine which fuel injector or ignition coil to fire. Usually located at the front of the motor"

Thats the camshaft part im guessing prevost. I never knew our cars had more than one ignition coil. I've seen the new Cobras with 2 distributors, but thats about it. HEHE

My car is a stick, and the only thing i notice on my is when i idle, i can hear the clutch spinning still. Push the pedal in, goes away ... and so on, but not all the time.

Next time it happens don't move your foot or even push the pedal down a little further without letting off for a split second. If it hurts more and maybe even backfires through the intake then it's either not getting enough fuel or it's a timing problem.
