little problem?

sounds more ignition related to me...

spark plugs and wires are what i would do first. Timing might have come off a few degrees.

your pump shot might be a little off.
does it stumble and then catch up or just stumble and stay that way?

do you hear loud pinging or knocking noises?

what happens when you ease into WOT rather then just slam it into WOT? I know you said feather was fine just not sure how far you are feathering it or are you feathering to wide open?

take the plugs out floor it and watch it stumble then WHILE YOU STILL HAVE IT FLOORED turn the car off and coast to the side of the road. take plugs out and look at them. black, white, tan what color are they? also when doing this make sure to note once the car dies you will need to put the key back to on so the stearing wheel will allow you to turn rather then lock up. just make sure the car isn't in gear.

When i floor it.. AKA WOT. its stumbles. It stumbles till i let off gas, and it doesnt cut off. Theres no ticking or knocking. When i ease into WOT it stills tumbles. I can keep the peddle off the floor, lets say 1/4" and its doesnt stumble. This problem doesnt bother me, becuase i dont WOT to often (gas, not into racing, etc. etc.) But its perplexing and i would like to get it fixed befor ei sell it..
