to start off i was taking a short trip to a buddys house, about a mile trip to gte there....no issues. coming back randomly i heard a missfire and felt a slight hesitation but did not stall. the motor idles fine but from time to time a miss or 2 can be heard, even when acelerating or sitting. about a mounth ago i had an issue where it randomly stalled and missed like crazy and found it was as simple as the positive terminal falling off. this time the terminal was snugg on. random thought but could a dirty terminal have anything to do with hesitation?, at the momnet my voltmeters outa battery. either way this is probly my last day having this car on the road.... got myself a geo prizm, and of course an e30 to fix up.

does it happen at WOT or cruising or are you throwing any codes

check the condition of your sparkplugs, massairflow meter, o2 sensor, and TPS

this could also possibly happen if the coilpacks are not bolted down tightly, also, have you noticed any smoke.
