Hey guys, I just found out about this place so I figured it would be appropriate for me to post here. I have a 98 Grand Am GT with the 3100... you can see pics in my sig.
Anyways yesterday I installed the ffp underdrive pulley and rksport engine mounts (the lower dogbone and upper insert). We did everything as the directions told... started it up it was all good. Revved up fine, etc. So after I left I had to get on it of course. The car runs smooth, but now at WOT it will accelerate fine to like 4-4500 rpm then sputter sputter then keep climbing, then sputter, then 5500 then shift. It doesn't do this all the time. Sometimes it will just be one lil sputter that feels like wheelspin... but again this is only at WOT... and when its not sputtering it feels like the shit made a difference... but it sucks because this is happening.
Anyways, the crank sensor ring is pressed into the new pulley, it wasn't bent at all by the holes and its epoxy'd into place. I also have no codes being thrown (or at least no check engine light). It has been raining these last few days, so MAYBE that has something to do with it... I'm guessing its not related to the crank pulley (and hoping). My other mods are cai, 180 tstat, straight pipes where stock mufflers were. So is this a spark problem? What should I check first?
Thanks guys
