My used 2001 Echo was surging for a few days and then wouldn't start for anything. Tried a new battery which didn't work. Had it towed to a shop yesterday they say it started w/o a problem for them this morning and throughout the day. They say they've run extensive diagnostics on it and can't find anything wrong. They say the car has Bosch spark plugs in it which aren't very good and think changing to another brand of plug will fix the problem. Does this make any sense? Anyone have any suggestions of what might be wrong? The car has over 100K miles on it and I've had it for about 2 months now, so I don't know the history on it. Thanks for any help you may have!
