if it constnatly studders if u give it more than 10% throttle, after exactly 10 minutes of driving, then the electronic OMP has failed...( one of the many types of failure modes in the omp, ive had this one occur on my s5)

if u key off then back on does it go away for another 10 minutes??

ive also seen ones that fail right when u start them up and studders allway sno matter what.

Does the check engine light come on? and yes check the codes like the above post

If it is the OMP you should start premixing 1oz per gallon of 2cycle oil in the gas tank, as with no omp the engine will wear very fast due to lack of apex seal lubrication.

Then i would search for a used omp as the brand new one is insanly expensive.

^^^ you obviously have no clue what you are talking about man. stuttering can be caused from several things
1) injectors clogged
2) limp mode
3) tps failing or mistuned
4) lack of gas (learned that the hard way)

If i key of the gas it still stutters bad, yes the check engine is on. what would i need to get the codes i saw that my buddy did his own to his vw with his laptop or should i send it to a place to get it checked?

what you do is take a copper wire (for home audio) or make up a wire with a male spade end and connect one end to the diagnostic plugs at the trailing coil, and the other end to the + terminal, then, go inside the car and turn the key to the acc posistion. look at the amount of times the CEL blinks, that will tell you your codes
blink blink blink blink blink blink blink = code 7, see what i mean?

Lloyd

edit: remember the numbers, or have someone there to remember it, or better yet, write them down, then go to 1300cc.com (or net dont remember) and look up the trouble codes.
