Engine missing and stumbling
Was out for a drive yesterday and the engine started missing and stumbling.
I was in town and only going about 20 and the it was like the motor wanted to stall. The tach would drop from about 3000 to about 500 and jump back up lurching the car forward. It did this for a minute or so and I thought it was going to be DOA on the side of the road. it has never done this before and again I now have no faith in this car. I have a road trip to take this week and have doubts this car will get me there. I know if I take the car in I will get the we could find anything story and they could not get the car to repeat the problem. Anyone else experience this? Almost seemed like the fuel was getting cut off. Tank had 3/4 of a tank and I was heading up a hill.
