Engine problem??? HELP!

[Johnny_52]

When i am driving the car, say second gear for example. The car hits the usual pick up point at about 5k, but then shortly after about 6k the car seems to stutter and hit some sort of limater. It is quite violent and would throw you forward and back in your seat, anyone any ideas????

Anyone??

Is this when the car is warm or just started? does it always do it, all the time even after about 1hrs driving?

sounds like your hitting the early limiter when the engines not up to temperature? its a safety feature to help prevent damage to your engine. i take it its a 172/182?

Coil pack I'd say.

This happens 90% of the time. Engine is warm. Reno told me it was my plugs, they are now changed, it still does it tho.
