Ive got a 95 SE automatic and it learned a new trick last week. At idle in drive or reverse it will hicup every once in awhile feeling for a second like it wants to stall but it doesnt. In park it can sit there at idle for hours and never hicupps. When I drive it hicupps as well. I run high octane fuel. Ive replaced the spark plugs and its the same. Replaced the MAF sensor and its the same. Ran techron fuel injector cleaner and its the same. I am leaning toward a bad coil for one of the cylinders or a faulty fuel pump. I am getting no codes. It is scary because it feels like its going to leave me stranded sooner or later(I kind of wish it would break so I would know the problem). Any ideas. The car has 195,000 miles. I did notice that when I looked down the holes where the spark plugs go that the tops of the cylinders?were kind of crudy/brown...anything I can do for that?? Thanks in advance for the help!! :)
