puddering problem

my eclipse pudders betwenn 1 and second gears i figured it was my plugs and wires so i changed them from advanced. Still did not work so went to another shop and said advanced gave me german plugs so i bought some japanese from there. Worked alot better then before but still a little bit. then the wires advanced gave me shreaded while taking them out like 5 minutes after installing so returned them and placed stock ones back in there. so now i have new plugs with original wires still puddering alot less then initially. should i go and buy newer wires which are better then advanced or try somen else?

Re: puddering problem

Go get OEM shit from Mitsu! Its the best thing you can do. Mitsu has already done a really good job tuning this engine, and what they use is what is best. If you want to put some nice plugs in your car though you need to go with NGK Iridium. Dont let anyone tell you that there is a better plug. Go to any race track, or performance store and that is what they will tell you to get.

Re: puddering problem

make sure the plugs are gapped correctly. incorrect gapped plugs can cause the car to run rough

Re: puddering problem

the gap inbetween where the spark comes out and the metal piece( i forgot their technical names). there needs to be a correct gap between them. did you install the spark plugs yourself?

Re: puddering problem

Oh god you didnt gap your plugs? You have to always gap your plugs with the exception of iridium plugs. This is why everyone needs to take at least one semester of autoshop!

Re: puddering problem

for his sake, i hope a shop installed the plugs. i hope you didnt do it yourself.

if the gap is too big, then the incoming air will blow out the spark. this will cause the car to run horrible
