so if we're starting to realize it's probably not the coils, then whats our next move? I mean rx7racr already pretty much ruled out most everything else with the obd-II tests...

Are we back to thinking it could be a fuel problem, like indicated by your dancing gauge, slickismax? I know I mentioned wondering about the fuel pump, but I just had another thought too...what about a fuel pressure regulator? Could that cause this? I'm just wondering because they are operated off of vacuum, and isn't more vacuum created when you hit the gas? Idk, it just sounded good in my head.

what are you guys thinking?

actually, I guess if we wanted to test for a broken harness we could test all the wires for coils listed in the service bulletin...that could still cause the coils to fk up and replacing them wouldn't make a difference if the harness is faulty.
