engine stuttering... HELP!
so my engine is stuttering.. in every gear if i get on the gas more than like 15% throttle the engine stutters, and my car feels like its lurching a bit. and also when my car is idling, my exhaust sounds like its almost backfiring. i am getting no CEL's either. anyone have any ideas?

And just to clarify, the KS may throw a code, but it does NOT trigger a CEL, ever. The user has to check for the KS code manually.
Mr. Duck, although you don't have a CEL, did you check for codes anyway? (for the KS code)
When is the last time you checked/replaced the spark plugs?
Is your Max a '99 by chance?
My hunch says spark plugs, coilpacks, injectors, or MAF.

mine does, but no power, until WHAM! it kicks in and shifts (A/T).
Ive got a CEL now from my o2, as well as the KS. one of these days Ill replace both pieces, but for now they are sitting waiting to be installed.

easiest way to see if its the ks is to rig up a 470k resistor in the ks harness. you can get 5 of them at radio shack for 99 cents. slap one of those in and that way you can use the process of elimination
