The car starts and rides ok under light acceleration, but when I put the pedal down a bit it stutters and seems to backfire.
Changed plugs and made sure there was good spark on all. I also used some carb cleaner to check for vacuum leaks, couldn't find any. Tomorrow I will probably pick up a new cap and rotor and see if that helps.
If anyone has a suggestion as to what else I can check, that would be great. May even be fuel filter/ pressure regulator issue???
Thanks
Pull any codes?
I do not have a code reader at the moment. I could pop out to autozone tomorrow and have them do it.
you don't need a reader

I will let you use mine Wayne. Its better than the one you have to count beeps or light flashes.
Fuel filter??? Or maybe the fuel pump is on its way out. Do you have an active fuel pressure gauge?
Got cats??? If so, check to see if they are clogged!!!!
Busy with work, but I will get back to it on Monday. Thanks for all the suggestions!
Ever get this issue figured out?
Sorry, I forgot to get back to this thread. I put a new fuel filter in it and it didn't correct the problem. I ended up replacing the plugs I bought with non copper autolites and the car ran good. Then I replaced the cap and rotor ( because I bought them ) and the car runs great now with no issues.
