Re: my car is a pos

More likely yes... a stretched belt or tension got loose is what happened to me. This was quite a bit after a redone timing belt. Maybe 10000 miles +. I believe it skipped on startup, when the belt loosens a tad and then when I started the car, the force somehow popped it a couple teeth back. The car ran pretty shitty and knocked like mad, logger and eventually loud enough to hear...

Anyway so yea. The stuttering could be your plugs or spark plug wires. I had the same stuttering under boost issue and it was the wires.
