so ill list the symptoms of my car and we can go from there. i've always had hesistation problems sometimes worse then other times, but not the car has gotten sicker. the cel comes on but always goes off before i get a chance to read the codes. i'm having trouble starting the car. the car will fire first try and run for maybe a second or two then the engine cuts off. after that its another 3-4 attempts at starting and when it does start i have to give it some gas to keep the revs high enough where it doesnt stall out again. occasionally when i'm driving the car studders badly and when i give it gas the rpms drop suddenly. almost like the opposite of whats suppose to happen - you give the car gas and the rpms climb. but not when the car is in the sputtering mood, then if you give the car gas like i said before it chokes it out. it has even gotten as bad as complete engine shut off randomly, while driving normal. the weirdest part about that is when i start it back up it drives near perfect. hardly any hesistation and not stalling or choking at all.


i apologize for the random choppy sentences, but thats how my car is acting. random things here and there all combining to make one underperforming car. i think it may be a clogged fuel injector but i'm not sure. i've tried to send it to my mechanic but he's being a d-bag anyways and wants me to work on everything at once. but i cant work on everything until my a/c compressor comes in (it's taken the part 3.5 weeks to be delivered..). so i'm pretty much stuck. help.

If the CEL came on, there are codes stored, pull them.
Clean your throttle body and IACV to improve starts and idle stability.

bump. althought a dirty tb might not help the situation, i seriously doubt thats the only thing wrong.
