don't think its the cat. and not bosch, got NGK plugs, didnt install any new gaskets, the one that was on there was not ripped or anything so i figured it would be fine, who wants to fork out 140 dollars for a gasket lol. Pretty sure its a miss, car jumps and engine makes a choking sound, but its not constant like i said. The motor doesn't make a ticking sound as far as i'm aware, what road are you going down with that one Mike?

140 bucks! Should be less than $50.

This problem can be caused by spark leak. Did you use plenty of dielectric grease on the coils to ensure a good seal between the rubber boots and the spark plugs?

Coil Packs, Vacume Leak, Age. Given that you said it was missing on acceleration i would say coil packs
