Your car may be ready for a major tune-up including spark plugs, plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, fuel filter and air filter. Also, perform a fuel pump pressure test. Clean the fuel injection system including throttle bore, idle speed control motor and passages. If problem still exists, scan computer for trouble codes.
