I recently had a coil pack go so I replaced it and since then my car starts fine, but once it is put in drive and I start driving every now and then the car shudders like it is going to stall for about one second then goes fine again.

When this happens the cruise control light turns on. When it drives fine again the light turns off. I thought it might have been the leads and plugs so I changed them, but problem is still there. Can you help?

scan for codes and check for a vacuum leak if no codes show have a mechanic scan for codes as it may pick something else up ausing the problem. try pulling fuse for cruise see if it makes a difference

try cleaning throttle plate on both sides and iac hole with choke cleaner then make sure battery terminal ends are clean if it continues have it checked locally because it sounds intermittent
