Engine Performance problem
1997 Buick Skylark 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 120000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
ive read so many people have this problem....my car starts and runs fine most of the time, then it will start to cut out like its out of fuel and ill have to slow way down and it leans out to nothing. wait a couple mins and it starts and i can drive sometimes it will do the same all over again. ive been battling it since ive bought the car. it just cuts out randomly in the worst possible moments. nothing fixes it and sometimes i can go months without any symptoms!! ive replaced spark plugs twice, plug boots, fuel filter 3 times, replaced vacuum lines, gas cap, egr, air filter, cleaned throttle body, ran fuel system cleaner through it. i can hear the fuel pump running. maybe the fuel pump has low voltage? i cant check it because it so intermitten. maybe hook a volt gauge to it on my dash? idk??? idk anyone find the fix for this problem YET????
