91 spirit R/T. there is an electrical problem that is causing me from having the full power of the 2.2 Turbo 3.

When it starts to wind up, and the boost kicks on, she feels like she is missing. when this happens, the lights flicker, and the radio goes out. plugs are gapped to 30. Any ideas?

Check all the electrical connections under the hood.

Every single one? Double check around the battery & alternator. Check & clean all the grounds in the car.

how are your motor mounts? Is the engine rocking enough to cause the alternator to touch anything?

The motor mounts seam fine, I removed two of them when I replaced the clutch, and they were not torn or anything.

Any ider how to tell if the coil pack is bad? It idles smooth and fires on all cycs, but yea.

If I didn't know any better (that I gap'd the spark plugs at 30) I would think the spark is being blown out.
