Thanks, I'll try it.... but I'm nervous about opening it up, I think that's how I messed up my original one. Now that I think about it, maybe that's all that's wrong with the original. Could a misaligned pin possibly cause it to jerk at a lower RPM also? The stupid think that I did, if you didn't read my previous post, was to paint the MAF sensor, but should that have been a problem. I heard that they were fragile, but what precautions should I use when I check those pins. Does the grease from your fingers contaminate them?

Also, could it be caused by fouled spark plugs?
