yeah it kinda sputters like its tryin then kicks in.....and for the above post my front 02 was replaced not long ago and i remember when it went bad and dont remember the symptoms being the same
yea thats what i thought to.....i just replaced the plugs actually it was due anyways ill update if that does it or not if not time to bust out the multimeter on the coil bitch haha
Mine does that sometimes also and I still can't figure out what the hell it is. I don't throw any CEL's or anything but sometimes it just does it. Although I will say that after I installed the grounding kit from PF it accelerates smoothly all the way up to redline. It only happens once in a while now. I also changed my sparkplugs and o2 sensors and it still does iton occasion. So I'm going to go with bl_easy and say injector #4 or the coil pack. I really don't a dirty think a PCV valve would cause it but who knows. I'm still a noob.
I'm not talking about a PCV valve. Again, that is attached to the intake manifold, and would probably affect all cylinders, right? I was talking about the valves in the cylinder head.
Specifically, the ones for a certain cylinder...
I know I'm just throwing shit out there. Still learning over here bud.One thing to try is getting some Injector cleaner additive that you dump in your gas. If it's a sticky injector, this could help loosen it up. It's definitely worth a shot for about eight bucks.

i said I agreed with you on. And that I changed my sparkplugs and it still occured sometimes.
As far as your problem goes....sounds like things could just be gummed up a bit if its only doin it once in awhile and youve already replaced things. Im sure youve tried fuel injector cleaner but if not do that like mentioned above. You might try some Seafoam through the PCV valve and see if that smooths everything out. Theres a thread out there somewhere on it just search for Seafoam. It just cleans out carbon build up in the cylinders makes it idle a bit smoother etc....
Not on the boot no... there was some on the plugs but it was old and caked on because I recently replaced my valve cover gaskets which is where im assuming you were goin with what you said above.
Yeah I was thinking about seafoaming it. After everything I've tried I don't think it would hurt. It's weird because sometimes it will hesitate and about 2 weeks ago I was cruising in fifth gear on the parkway and I couldn't go above 3,600rpms. hasn't happened since then but I don't know. I think I am going to try the seafoam
Huh thats weird. Ya got me on that one then. That sounds electrical rather than mechanical but who knows its hard to say without experiencing the problem. Good luck hope you figure it out. Seafoam cant hurt at least
