first off i have searched all over the web for someone having the same problem and couldnt fine anywhere. but anyway i have a s13 with a stock KA and my car started cutting out and acting like it wasnt getting fuel but i checked and im gettin fuel fine so then i figured it was a dizzy timing issue so i movied it and after that it ran great for about a week then it started again and i checked the dizzy didnt move or anything and if you put a timming light on each of the wires i found that some one them skip sparks or going faster then the others and what not could that be my dizzy going out? i just replaced plugs wires and ignition coil about 3 months ago.

check your wires for any breaks on the shielding. what i do is wait till its dark out get a spay bottle with water. start up the engine and spay water on the spark plug wires. look for any arching.

alright will do that. and i forgot to mention that it doesnt seem to do it if you beat on it. like if your just casually driving it seems to do it alot more then is you beat on it it runs better.
