Bucking / Hesitation Problem
I just had a new engine installed in my 2001.
I took my car for a ride and it was ok on the Highway.
However after I raced the engine a little something happened.
It starting bucking and hesitating through all gears very badly.
Nothing is leaking and it is idling ok.
I am going to call the dealer tomorrow.
I appreciate anybody's help.
Thank Jerry

To be honest, I didn't race it that hard. I should have paid attention the RPM's but I didn't.
The dealer is going to check it for me at some point soon.
It is under warranty. Thank God.

Check for loose or damaged wires or Incorrectly connected wires or damaged plugs.
Have you ever see the chech engine light flash during the problem???
Remove the plugs and look for cracks on the insulators.

I just dropped my car off at the dealership.
On the way the Check engine light came on.
I checked the DTC codes and received a PO300 Engine Misfire.
My car is under warranty and they just installed a new engine so back it goes.
Thanks Jerry

You thinking the same thing I am Bill? Very very possible a grounding issue (or more accurately, a lack of). Especially at the cylinder head.

I'll post their diagnosis when I find out.

Only a loose spark plug wire.
Thank God!
It's nice to know how to pull the DTC codes.
Thanks for all your help.
