Jittery/rough Acceleration
Hey everyone I have a peculiar problem with my 8, and I'm afraid to take it in. going through college and im broke, so any insight would be appreciated!
I have a 2004 MT with a borla.
First off, one day i was slowly bringing my rpms to redline like i do all the time, when suddenly my CEL flashed for a while, and went away- i suspect a misfire, and I know my sparks are relatively new.
now for some reason, ever since then my acceleration has been very sluggish and everything feels very jittery, and it stutters a little, plus my exhaust just sounds different.
I suspect the cat is screwed up, maybe, i do drive my car pretty hard.
also, how hard is it to replace the neutral switch? mines gone on the fritz.
My clutch is squeaky as all hell as well, will they charge me to fix it if i take it to the dealer?

Coils need replacement, check spark plug wires
Clutch bracket reinforcement required before it snaps off.
OR
TSB for squeaky limit switches.
Search around a bit.
