Help! My engine is acting up...
Help! My engine is acting up...
I drove the car Sunday morning, no problems.. I drove the car later that afternoon and:
1. The engine is sputtering (shaking)
2. Idleing at 500 or less..
3. When you put it into Drive, idles even lower.
4. Dash lights flicker sometimes.
5. A friend suggested the fuel filter. I had a new one put in a month ago.
6. I had not filled up on gas recently, so I don't think I got bad gas.
7. When I try to drive it, if I keep it revved at least 1k, the engine is smooth and sounds fine.
This had to happen when the forum was down..
Anyone, please if you have any insight, please let me know.

when I experienced problems over the last year the issues were
intermittent, until finally, it was happening all the time...
GOOD LUCK!
