it does it all the time, it doesnt back fire but was just missing so much grunt coz of the obviousness of not getting all its fuel to max use... after much more investigation and a visit of my uncle looking for a screwdriver, who happens to be a mechanic, it was a sparkplug... just had oiled up and shit and was makin hte whole car run shitty, the interesting thing was the new sparkplug wasnt so much oiled up, just didnt get the right amount of spark coming through, after i swapped it for one out of the back of his wagon, it was right as rain

thanks for the input 4sum4!
