Alright so this started the other night after dropping off my friend
and spending maybe 10 mins in the parking lot I started the car and
began to drive down the road and then the engine began to hesitate and
stutter briefly when giving it gas/attempting to increase speed, I
could hear it and feel the vibrations in the wheel and pedals. It felt
like one of the cylinders wasn't firing or in sync properly. I got home
left it to cool down, came back later started it idled perfectly, took
it for a spin and for the first few minutes it accelerated and drove
great everything back to normal, it was only after the engine warmed up
that the engine began to stutters and hesitate upon giving it gas to
accel. Drove the car back home, popped the hood and I could hear a loud
ticking sound that wasn't usually there, It sounded like it was coming
from behind the head around where the fuel injection system is?
Next day I started by installing new NGK G-Power plugs, opened up the
distributor cap, looked good so did the rotor, filled up the tank with
fresh gas, still does it.
Does anybody have any ideas of what is the problem? I leave the car to
cool down and I can drive it for a few minutes without any trouble, but
as soon as the engine warms up this hesitation BS during accel occurs
