Default Engine running like hell! Help!
I have been noticing frequently. Scenario: Car starts rough, I shut it off once, then starts fine. When I am driving at speed and accelerate, the car stalls sometimes like it is starving for fuel or something. This only lasts a brief moment, but I had an incident last night where I absolutely had to pass a car and my car would not accelerate for a couple of seconds....just sputtered/coughed. Plugs have not been changed...74k.
