No luck with Seafoam through the gas tank. Either tire of drivetrain related now. I am going to try and get confirmation on either one here this week.

When accelerating, your weight distribution is a bit different among the front and rear wheels. This may "unload" the front just enough to allow a slightly out-of-round tire to exhibit its imbalance. Once that tire is more fully loaded, it is pressed more firmly against the road and the slight imperfection is not as pronounced. Just a possible reason......

I had the same problem with some new GoodYear tires and replacing them (Discount Tire was great!) solved the problem. Be sure that you have a reputable shop do a four-wheel alignment before you attempt to blame the tires, though.

Good luck,

Lee

I cannot due the 4-wheel alignment as I have a solid rear axle.

I am going to try tonight to post up some information pertaining to whether I may have a misfire or not. I have a $300 OBDII scanner that does datalogging. Maybe someone can help me with that.

Well I took one of the COPS off, and looked at it. The actual COP had some corrosion on it. The spring and boot looked great.

So needless to say, I think I am stuck with a COP replacement in the future. SH*T !!!!!
