96 sl2 4dr putts when AC is on

The car sometimes puts when the a/c is off now but mainly when the a/c is
on I get massive studdering and putting from the engine. I've read quite a
few posts here and now I'll be off to get the trouble code read from my
local autozone. I've also read from quite a few people here that
hesitation like that and the puttering can be caused from bad plugs&wires.
AC delco a good brand to go with? All your posts are very helpful and this
site is newly bookmarked. If you have any suggestions for me please post
them. Thanks.

(I'm new to the whole car scene and I'd just like to do some of the
repairs myself to save some bucks and learn a couple things)

Quite likely it is either plugs and/or wires, though it could be something
like an ignition coil. If the plugs and wires have not been replaced
recently or ever, that is likely a good place to start. Stick with whatever
plug brand the owners manual recommends (either NGK or AC Delco, not sure
about that year).

 

I had the sam trouble with mine and the A/c was vibrating and it made the
head crack now my just paid off Saturn is sitting in the yard! I would
have it checked out just to make sure! I would turn off the air but I
guess it had shaken it so much that it had already done the damage! Good
luck !
