Several times in the last couple of weeks, we have had the following problem. After backing out of the garage (parking spot, etc.) and putting the car into Drive, I step on the gas and it acts like it is going to stall. A couple of times it actually did stall. I even had the problem after driving a couple hundred feet out of my neighborhood, as I was about to drive onto the main road. I've really only had the problem in the first two minutes of running the car. Outside temperatures have been 60-100 F recently. The car is a 98 SL2 with
93000 miles. The things I've done to it most recently are:
- Attempt to solve the 'bang into reverse' problem as described here (seems to have worked, by the way): formatting link
- As I was doing that, the coolant cap leaked, so I flushed and refilled the coolant and replaced the cap.
What sorts of things could cause this problem?
