Default H22 problem maybe msd related

well i have had my msd on for about 8 months and my stock wires for about 1 year. recently the car (h22 accord) started stutter alot upon accleration and when i just ease off the acclerator and keep it level its fine, when i go back and add more gas the stutter begins big time and popping noise from the exhaust. I changed the spark plugs last tonite to no prevail. Planning on picking up some msd wires tomm. Anyone have any answer. The stutter is alot.

You need a full tune up. Plugs, distro cap and rotor, maybe wires..

well, is ur car an everyday driver?
i heard some good and bad things about msd modules.
ive heard they work fine and sometimes they dont. i was plannin to get one but after doin research and seeing reviews on it i changed my mind, to many people were saying that it started to act up after a while, then once they uninstalled it, there car was fine.
my father had to send his to msd for them to fix it because his was acting up.

I've had mine on for about a year, no problems. The #1 reason they mess up is because people mount them wrong and they vibrate to death. People don't use the supplied bushings.

I found that there is minimal gains from changing to aftermarket wires. And since you have the MSD there probably isnt a real need. You can change to NGK 8mm series if you want and you should be just as good. MSD and magnacore makes good wires as well.. Its all up to you though..
