get the code pulled before you start replacing anything but is most likely coil(s) or maf.

I Think What I Did Is The Time I Let The Gas Tank Go Beyond Empty I Sucked Some Crap Into The Lines. But Anyways A Half Tank Of Premium With Ocatane Booster And Super Concentrated Fuel Injector Cleaner Seems To Have Fixed It

Its the mass air flow sensor it happened to my car. The rpms went up slowly and the car shaking. SO i brought it to the dealer they changed the mass air flow and it was fine. Do you have a intake? That could be the reason it would go. Mine went because of the apexi intake from frankenpecker performance jk lol frankencar

the smartest thing to do would be not to lean towards anything and just go get the code pulled. if you an autozone near you then its free, if not then take it a mechanic who has an OBD2 diagnostic tester. if you were near me, id pull it for free.
