Default Does This Happen To AnyOne Else?!?!?

ok if you go to the tuesday meet and talk to me ive probably asked you but heres the scoop...

When ever i accilerate from low RPM my motor shakes makes nasty noises and wont put power to the wheels.....

First i thought it might not be getting fuel so i replaced the filter, then i thought air so i upgraded the intake, then i thought maybe misfiring so i upgraded the plugs to platnum 4's....and everytime i did something it got worse...IOW: the more power i give the motor the worse it does it...and i hooked up an Air/Fuel gaug and its nt running lean and it only runs ritch when its suppose to....

The motor and tranny mount do need to be replace is this possibly causing it or what else could it be?

This can probably account for the noises and vibrations, I don't know about not putting the power to the ground though...

How bad is this vibrating? Does it almost feel as if the whole car is shaking? If so, then you probably have a dead cylinder, most likely due bad spark plug wire.

Running an open BOV won't make your car stumble like the way you mention it (just stall the motor at most), but running an open BOV can eventually help lead to the problem you are describing. Check your plug wires, check your spark plugs again and keep your BOV recirculated. Should probably fix your problem.

you can tell the shaking is coming from the motor...when i replaced the plugs i checked the compression on 4 cylinders and they are all at 125psi....and i checked the wires and they are a full spark
