Default Misfiring??

Ok, so my car acts like it is misfiring but it only does it when i am driving. Like on the interstate it hesitates.....Anyone know why?


Could it be my injectors?

Tough to diag on the net but a part throttle cruising miss in my experiences has been,plug wires,cracked porcelin on a plug,turbulence around the MAF will create a part throttle stumble,lazy O2's,etc...


Hope that helps

Plugs and wires from my experiences won't throw trouble codes on your car.

Uh not really. I mean my car sometimes just stalls. It will be ideling and it jumps from 1000rpm to 500rpm and then just stalls but someone said it is from my broken catalytic converter. So I am gettin the hpipe but i wanted to try and get that fixed too.
