Thanks for looking.
Had a problem previously that was causing me starting problems however i replaced the battery and they all went away.
Basically, now I am having a bit of bucking and stuttering when I am accelerating. It idles fine it revs up fine when when it isn't in gear.
Got the code P0303 which was cylinder 3 misfire.
So far I replaced the spark plugs and the fuel filter (only because i had them on hand and ready to be done)
Otherwise I checked compression seemed ok, checked for vacuum leaks in the intake nadda i could find. I checked out the plug wires (which are only 6 months old if that) and they were good as well.
The only thing I can figure is the coil pack and I would test it for ohms but I've read other threads in other forums that sometimes the coil will appear perfectly fine according to a VOM but when a load is put on it, it craps out. Was hoping for any thoughts.
Thanks again.
