WoodsWagon Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Information on the make model, year and engine of the car would probably help. where's the grumble coming from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spideyz Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Could be the gas... swap out the fuel filter. If it seems better and after a bit of driving does the same thing, it could definitely be the gas. Pump the tank. Put in new gas a little at a time and keep putting on new filters until the problem doesn't come back. Plugs could be badly fouled also, that would cause some loss of power. Then take the bill to the gas station for all your time and parts:grin: . Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calebz Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 the car really feels like a lemon Somehow I just don't think any car that will go 200k + can be considered a lemon.. On that note, fuel filters fuel filters and fuel filters... from there, go with basic tune up stuff.. report back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
