So I was driving home from work today and the car started driving a bit weird. I noticed a loss of power and the car just didn't want to respond the way it should. All in all, here's my assumption, I have a spun bearing. But I could be wrong. My oil turns on every time I start the car. What I mean by comes on is that it flickers for a second and then goes away. And I get a bit of a chatter initially. I really hope you guys can help, as this is my DD. Thanks in advance.

Any engine codes? Sounds like it could be MAF.

 

try cleaning your MAF. It's probably that.

 

The oil light and chatter could be a bad oil filter that drains out when the engine is off. The filter wouldn't be a Fram by chance?

 

Yeah, sounds like MAF. Get a 2k1 MAF and swap the thermistor from yours into it. There's a really nice write-up on here.

 

Thanks a lot guys. I will look into this. Sorry I've been MIA. I thought I was subscribed to my thread, but I guess not.
