Hey, recently when I am in 1st, and shift up to 2nd, or basically in any gear when im upshifting, sometimes my car 'jolts'. like instead of goin 'uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup' it goes 'uuuuuuuuuu-jolt-uuu-jolt-uuuuup'
i guess, in a way, it sorta pulls..?

iono I can't really explain.

has anybody experienced anything sorta like this or know what im talking about?

 

It could be caused by a bad tank of gas. You might need to change your spark plugs and check all the components in your ignition system - plugs, wires, coils. You're getting some bad detonation in one or more of your cylinders. Are you throwing a check engine light?

 

grab a new set of plugs and wires... here is the wire parts:

NGW8910 Spark Plug Wire Set $31.69 @ napa they are $22.15 @ NGK's website

 

List of mods would help troubleshoot your problem too. Let say you had RRM's first version of the piggy, that would be a "normal problem" that you'd have to learn to live with.

It can be dirty fuel injectors, bad gas, bad driver, fouled plugs. or an array of other crap.

 

Auto or STD?

 

He says shift, so I THINK it might be STD, but I have an automatic, and I have the same problem, but everyone I know and their mother believes my tranny is shot, so I'm gonna be doing a tranny swap to manual

 

It's stick shift. No mods, just aftermarket muffler tip.

thanks 4 the suggestions of sparks+wires!

 

btw, does that wire set include the spark plugs?

 

no it is just the the 2 wires in that set... just picked a set up today NGK's V-Power plugs are the second image and are purchased separately from the plugs

 

Oh okay. Thank you very much!

Are there any Performance spark plugs + spark plug wires that will fit the 02 ES Lancer?

 

Check out this thread... lots of good info

 

Everything "engine-wise" will be the same. OZ=LS=ES, so you'll be getting the exact same wires and you "should" get the same plugs.

 

Okay I got NGK G-Force Spark plugs and NGK Spark plug wires

All for $56

 

Well, not exact cheaply... but they'll still work! Give us results after the install.

 

lol yeah. It was about $15 in shipping. But all in all, good.

Results will be posted in two weeks... I think everything will be here by next friday.
