Well, ok so I went and bought some fireworks on Sunday by Arundle Mills, had to drive through a dirt parking lot(not fast) to leave and I pulled up to a light. I was on a slight decline(nose of car sloped down) and all of a sudden the car starts to idle very bad and stalls out. I try and restart it and it won't start......it finally starts and the car is knocking very loud and barley accelerates. This is after two attempts to start and horns blowing at me.....so I limp it to a parking spot and try and start again...same thing sputter and knocks......no check engine light........it dies again and then after trying to start it a 5th time it starts sputers real quick them runs fine. Still no cel's, but now the car runs fine. I do notice that the car idles very low some times.....I'm confused...any suggestions? As for parts, just an intake and spacer. Exhaust should be ordered, but I don't have that on yet.

My thoughts, water in the gas?

 

No one??????? Damn

 

Devon - leak in the plenum?

 

It's tight as hell.......well as needed. I think it is bad gas....I was running around all that day....then got gas went home then got fireworks and stopped at an angle and bam.....dead.

 

Get the dealer to take a look at it. It should still be under warranty.

 

I had this happen to my old car. . . . . The dealership had to flush the engine and change some parts out. $900 and that was for an Intrepid!

 

I'd take it to the dealer as well. Last time I heard something similar, it turned out their intake somehow came loose or something got jammed in there causing it to choke. I'd check that as well.
