Recently my wagon has been missing (i think) while driving down the road. When i drive it there is a slight kick or buck it goes away if i downshift and rev the engine. I'm thinking it's an ignition issue maybe just bad wires. Anyone else had this happen? Seems to happen when its under load climbing a hill or something. I hope it's not a trans issue.

I'm thinking it's a bad plug wire, it started on a humid day. Would it throw any codes if this were the case, I would think the oxygen sensor would go off with unburned gas being pumped out of it. I don't have a light on.Comment

They are quite affordable, I'm not really too concerned about price, i'd like to put something on there that will last another 100,000 that i don't have to worry about.
Basically, if something else goes wrong down the road i don't want to have to think to myself did those ignition wires i put on fail again.Comment

Haha sometimes thats the easiest route!!
I ran the code reader on it tonight and it threw one code.
code 34 on the continous test. Key on Car off.
Egr stuff, i just replaced a bunch of egr valves 2 years ago so I'm hoping this code is kinda just related to the missing.Comment
