1998 Legacy, 2.2L automatic, 146,000 miles.

 

I get a miss between 2nd and 3rd gears it seems. It idles fine. It runs fine at full throttle. But during the acceleration, it's acting a bit weird.

 

I pulled all the spark plugs, they seem fine. Not exactly new, but shouldn't be failing. Where else do I look? Plug wires? The distributor?

Are you sure that it only misses when your driving under load? not at idle or anything? is the CEL illuminated? have you seen the CEL come on when you feel this problem happen?

 

if your posative that the plugs are good...than with the vehicle running you could try and spary some water all over the plug wires and see if you notice any sparks....

Yes, I have CEL... Getting a scanner to find out the code soon.
