does it to 3000 rpm - then runs fine - does not do it when fuel filter is removed

Is this a quiz?

erm, did you try a new fuel filter then? Knock sensor in good shape?

fuel filter worked for 100 miles - problem came back

Well either there's so much crud in the fuel tank that it plugged up the new filter in 100 miles, or maybe it's just a coincidence that the problem went away for that time. Is the check engine light illuminated or are there any pending codes?

 

There's probably a lot of things that could cause this problem; are your spark plugs and wires in good shape and are they OE? How many miles do you have and has the front oxygen sensor ever been replaced and is it OE? PCV valve OE? Air filter clean? Does it do it only when engine hot/cold/warm when it's hot/cold/wet/dry outside? More info please?

thanks for the help -it was a spark plug wire
