Car is shuddering in low rpms.
First off...I'm new here. I just bought a 94 formula. I love it! lol.
Now on to the problem....
My water pump went three days after I bought the car. I had it replaced and when I picked my car up from the shop it started shuddering when I slow to stop and at low rpm just sitting at a stop. I'm assuming it's the dreaded optispark. But maybe it isn't. Any ideas? I'd prefer to not have to throw upwards of 300 dollars into a car I just purchased....but I love the car and it's worth it.
By the way...here it is!
60,000 original miles and the interior looks as good as it did the day it was bought. I'm in love with this car.

how much did you pay for it? any ways trying to diagnose your problem. i have a 95 formula with 67k miles on it how bad does it "shutter"? and does the engine sound like it sputters spits or anything?
