Urgh, car is acting up again, need help finding the problem
I think my car is at that special time in its life when something breaks down every 2 weeks. Anyway, there are 2 main issues I need to address.
1)The worse of the two problems is with the engine. I just recently replaced the ignition module because the car was running rough at about 3000rpm and essentially not letting me break 3000rpm although I could easily break 3000rpm when not in gear. This wasn't happening all the time but enough to **** me off. I replced the Ignition module as advised by a pep boys mechanic and I've never noticed the problem again. Now however my car vibrates intensely at about 2000rpm all the time! Seems like the engine is not timed right at that rpm. Could it still be the ignition module?
2)My car banks right when braking. I inspected my brake pads and they look fine. Checked my brake fluid level and leaks too. Are there any other possibilities or is it pretty much a problem with air in the right brake lines?

#1. Maybe;
#2. If the car actually banks right you might want to take a look at the linkage or belcrank for both ailerons. Chances are the port side aileron is sagging.
OH! If you mean it PULLS right, check the left caliper for sticking in the bracket and pad wear.

A bad wheel bearing will also cause the car to "pull" when braking. jack it up and check for play top to bottom....
