Re: 1995 Caprice cough, sputters and idles fast

When I drove it yesterday I really tried to listen to exactly what happened when. It seems that when I am at a stop and then accelerate the car really struggles in 2nd and after that until I get to the speed I want to go. If I let up on the gas peddle it seems to even out a little and will still accelerate as I am pressing the accelerator down further than is necessary for it to go at that speed. When I get to a constant speed it levels out and only makes an occasional sputter so most of it seems to be upon acceleration. Does that change anything as far as what you think it might be? Also I checked at O'Reilly Auto Parts for a distributor cap and they run about $130.00 I then checked on Ebay and I can get one for less than half that amount and they say it is "new" and several other people have bought from h im and he has a high satisfaction rate. What is your opinion about ordering a part such as this off of Ebay? By the way he offers a 30 day return policy. One last question... there seems to be a red and a blue optispark any idea which is the right one or should/would I just look and be able to tell that way? Thank you for all your help I appreciated it SO very much!
