hey guys yesterday i replaced the plugs and wires, cleaned out the throttle body and runned sea foam, everything fine, later on that day i was going on the high way and noticed that after like 55 mph it started to buck/quick jerks. it was doing that at the last gear low rpm when i was giving it gas. this morning i replaced the tyranny filter and gasket and put 5 quarts of tyranny fluid, still doing it but not as bad. any ideas on what it could be causing that, or iono. help me out guys . thx

...is that the order you did the maintenance??? plugs/wires/tb/seafoam???
might be your problem....you would have fouled your new plugs...i would also check your vacuum and elect connections in that area you were working in but i'm leaning to you fouled your new plugs and may need to also reclean your tb...:scratch:
 






i think u are rite because my check engine light came on today i got 3 missfire codes on cylinder .2 3 6. I will have to check that again. Thank you
 






...no problem just be sure to post what the results were...:D
 






yeah sure thing. i also serviced the transmission took the oil pan out replaced the filter and the seal and put new transmission fluid in it. the old one was pretty burned and also a lot of metal shavings. i'm really hoping it's not the transmission i mean i had the suv for a month now. not really looking forward to do another transmission replacement.
 






so yeah after hours and hours of looking for problems and kept getting the same miss fires on cil. 2 3 6. and stuttering was getting worst and worst, it got to the point that when i had in R or D u could feel the hole car vibrating and stuttering, next day i went and bought a new intake manifolds gasket, put that on it made a lil bit of a difference, but not enough. went back on the forum and started reading, found something about the fuel injectors so i decided to check those out, found another problem the O rings, replace those and problem solved, and put some injector fluid cleaner. now it's running better then when i bought it, plus it looks like it better on gas to.
 






Good job on the find, sometimes you can pull your hair out with those types of problems
 






Yeah I know. now that is running rite it's time to start doing some moods to make it run better and look and sound better. I want an intake, exhaust, I’m still debating on whether to drop it or lift it. I’m really thinking about dropping it and make it a lil bit more stable on the high way, because it’s all over the place when it hits a bump or driving on Worcester mass roads. Then some rims and many more. What do u guys suggest?
