Help please.

It’s about 3 weeks now that my RPM has been acting weird sometimes mostly in the mornings but also while in Park or Drive. For instance it’ll drop a little from its normal position and then will go back to normal again and I feel a kick while it does this. This is not a constant issue, but it may do this once then after a few seconds again and sometimes after a minute or two. I’ve also noticed my car doesn’t have the power it used to.

So far I’ve done the following trying to correct the problem and have noticed no difference:

Got new NGK V-power plugs
Got new ign wires
NTK o2 sensor on it’s way

I had Bosch platinums before and as far as I remember this problem started right after I changed them to the NGK ones. Not sure though. Could this be a problem? Maybe the plugs I changed to are bad or not accepted by my Max?

Any help would certainly be appreciated, since this is piecing me off and

 

Hey I just bought a set of NGK V-power plugs. But I'd kinda doubt thats the problem. Maybe you should check all the ignition wires to see if they are connecting well.

 

I have but problem persists. There is one vacume hose that's been loose for about the same time this problem arose and I'm hoping that'll solve the problem. It's the little hose which goes from near the TB to the upper part of the black canister under the battery/fuses. I accidently broke off the little plastic tube the hose fits on while changing the hose and haven't had the time to reconnect. I gotta think of how though.

 

Have you checked your tranny fluid? Now wishing bad luck but that happened to me and now my car is sitting waiting for a new transmission...

 

Yep, the fluid is good.

 

How many miles on your Auto?

 

it has 162,000

 

Cross your fingers and hope it's not dying...
