Hi, My engine/car seems to have a little, stutter step when I take off in first. It's like there is a couple seconds before it catches. Is it the tires? Someone said it might be the engine mounts. Do they need tightening? Any ideas? Orwell

 

Maybe head gasket or...its winter time, the cold delays things.

 

cant you tell if headgasket is gone by holding revs at about 3- 3.5 grand and seeing if theres alot of exhaust comming out the back??

 

no

 

Throwing any codes?

My car use to jump like crazy when I blew the distributor. I changed the distributor and car was great.

 

I'd check that 1st, the codes, if your check engine light is on then the ECU will go into "limp mode"
