ok i have just bought a silver contour svt with only 34k miles on it. about 2 wks after i got it the check engine light came on after i did a burn out. eversince then the car seems to studder when im hard on the throttle mainly in second and third above 4k rpm. it doesn't do it all the time but most of the time. i don't know what the problem is but can anyone give me some advice on what to do please.

also when i am at about 3k rpm in second and stomp it it doesn't react like it should. i really don't know if the rpms are suppose to go constant or not being that i have only had the car for about 2 months now. but i do know that the CEL is on and that is a problem

With the CEL on you need to get your codes checked. Several auto parts stores do it for free. That will help narrow the problem down.

Get that done and get back with us. Could be something as simple as a coil, spark plug, MAF...

Good luck!
