Need help before heading to dealer

I have a 2001 that has been having some strange problem. I would like to get some opinions before I head over to the dealer so they could check it out.

As noted above, my 2001 (auto transmission/ ~65000miles), has been doing some funky idling things. When I start up the car, it seems ok, then I put it into reverse, sometimes I get a rough idle and sputtering(?). I then engage into drive and that also gives a rough idle and sputtering(?). This goes on until after I drive for a few yards or more.

So how bad is it doctors. Does my car have cancer?


Any help would be appreciate.

Alex

PS: does the search function work for everyone else?

Sounds like either maf or coils.
Could also be something as simple as a clogged injector.

You have to pay to search.
