When the car is cold while driving it like to stutter for some reason.

If i push the gas pedal normal i feel the engine bog down. however when i push the pedal all the way it feels like it frees up drives normal. it does this in all gears and only when the car is not fully heated up.

anyone have any suggestions?

check plugs and or for a vacuum leak and possible idle air control valve but sounds more like ignition or iacv

the car has just been to the shop last week becuase my coil needed to be replaced. i have new spark plug and new coil now

i also notice that the car is still missing a little about once or twice every 10 seconds.

also i want to point out that my idle is regular at about 700 rpms when the engine is warm and generally i have no idle issues. Only sometimes when im driving and i may come to a stop light or something and the idle is a bit rough. ithe main problem is when im driving and it bogs down like that.

Did you check the ignition timing?

Did you replace both the coil and the igniter/ICM with OEM parts from the stealership? Usually the stutter is caused by the ICM dying. I've had terrible luck with aftermarket ICMs lately...went through 3, and 2 aftermarket coils before I got mine fixed. Turned out it was a bad coil.
