2016 Regal 2.0 Turbo P1101(Autozone) jerk/ bucking when lightly accelerating

Get a set of ZZPerformance coilpacks for $199.. they make a big difference!! Worth it..👍👌
 
If / when new packs fix problem, you can return some of the other parts you bought 👍🙏🏼
 
buickBandit,
Eventually, you may give up on the thought of using all AC/Delco parts
as the parts become harder and harder to find.
I don't disagree, best to stay with AC/Delco if you can!
I ended up buying a Set of MSD Coil Packs for my 2015 Regal.
I've been very happy with them.
Got a Great Deal, bought $200 worth of Coil Packs for $100.
I did keep all of the old Coil Packs in case I have a problem!

My Coils weren't throwing any codes, but my gas mileage wasn't IMO
very good, so I replaced the Coil Packs, Plugs and VVT Intake and Exhaust.
I also replaced the Air Filter and Cleaned the Throttle Body around the
same time.
Seems like Gas Mileage is a little better, but I'm not sure if was worth
all the money spent or not?

The good thing about replacing all of these things is that I know where
I stand, I know what was replaced and when.
This is something you usually don't know when buying a Used Vehicle.
 
I bought the coil pack from ZZPerformance as @Breeze suggested. I also bought the intake manifold and it's gasket. At this point, I'm just replacing everything that a 10 year old car needs replaced/ serviced. Will keep you guys posted on any updated once I install the parts.

Guess that I'm doing somewhat the same thing, replacing things that are
getting close the their life's end.

No real updates to my car, other than the fact that it's being agitated more often by having to drive up a hill every day for work. (Construction has closed my usual route.)
I am running a permanent trouble code of P06DE (Engine Oil Pressure Control Solenoid Valve Stuck On). Sometimes it throws a CEL, sometimes it doesn't. I grabbed one of those live read OBD readers so I can check some additional stats that I couldn't before.

What would you consider the threshold for gas mileage issues? I'm at 21 mpg average but that's with lots of high-incline, mountainous terrain on the weekends and my daily 5 mile commute around town. I sure like to hear the turbo, too, so I am sure that effects it.

I haven't had access to a garage so I'm overdue for checking my maintenance items. The previous owner didn't keep track of anything so my maintenance is a guessing game. I will get to digging more as soon as my main project is complete! My Miata is holding most of the attention these days.
