Stuttering and hesitation while accelerating.

Any idea what could cause this?

Flashing CEL?

[a4wheelin]

No flashing CEL. CEL has been on for about a year though, but it's never really given me any trouble. Shop told me it was a bad cat.

[LampyB]

driving with a bad cat for a year can't be good for the car. have you looked into a bad N75 valve?

coilpack

What's an N75 valve? I'll Google it, but I've never heard of it.

[SportSter]

i still say coilpacks.

[a4wheelin]

Just googled the N75 valve, it's turbo related. I have the 3.0L.

hahaha i totally missed that! check spark plugs, and while your at it, check your CPs

[a4wheelin]

Ok so how do I check my coilpacks? Do I have to get it Vag'd?

[zcrew]

I've just gotten used to it. Our cars aren't race cars from the factory, haha.

If it's serious though, like others, I'd say coilpacks, when mine went bad it took a little while for the CEL to come on.

Interesting, thanks.

My wife just called me (she has the car), and it's doing the same thing to her and the check engine light flashed for her. So does this mean coilpack for sure?

[rbj325]

have you checked your plugs? and their gapped .28-.30?

No I haven't checked them. I changed them about 15k miles ago.

Have the car scanned at autozone. If it comes back with a misfire code, you probably have a coilpack issue.

[a4wheelin]

Ok I'll do that. Thanks!
