My car is acting really weird. When i gun it from a complete stop it don't go anywhere well, it does but its not responding fast and has almost no power. Same thing when i'm drving freeway and etc... i replaced the spark pluigs for some NGK coppertop and gapped them at .45 and it was running fine for like 1-2k miles and now it's acting up it bogs. Can it be the spark plugs? i have not replaced the cap and rotor may that be the problem? i took off my dizzy and it works fine, so i'm thinking it's the cap and rotor but i'm not sure if that has anything to do with it...any input is greatly appreciated

 

Sounds like its the cap and rotor or the wires. Are there any problems with idle? Does it just bog or studder for a few seconds then hits like full power?

 

i replaced the spark plug wires with some NGK blues and it still does the same thing but a lil less, i'm thinking its the cap and rotor which will be replaced tommarow hopefuly... anyone else, input?

 

I had 1st gear, and cruising issues.

Catalytic converter's honeycomb was sideways...
Luckily Cat's are like only $100. Mine just came in...

 

umm, i have no cat (straight piping), and i've had it off for a while and never had a problem...
