I bought this car a year ago and it has been working fine. Now it has developed a stumble or hesitation. It shows itself several ways.
At highway speeds the tach is not steady and floats +/- 100rpm around the target RPM. Occasionaly I will feel a bump like I hit somthing (but it's the engine stumbling). This afternoon I was traveling slow in heavy traffic and breaking a lot. When traffic started moving again the engine quit when I tried to accelerate. But it immietiatly restarted.
At low speeds the engine will die when pulling away from a stop if I give it too much gas. Or it will "chug" (not audibly) a few times. Mean while the tach is swinging wildly around +/- 500Rpm around the 1000rpm mark.
Check engine light is off. Have not had it checked for codes. Tomorrow I will check the plugs, change fuel and air filter, check for break fluid in the booster vacuume hose. Have it scanned for codes.
Anything else I should look for while I'm at it??
Thanks
