Hi there,

With these sort of problems it is always good to start with having a scan done to see if there are any set fault codes, you don't always get a check engine light on with faults. start here.

thank you for the reply. Here is what i have already done. Full system diagnostics. full tune up to include wires cap rotor air filter and fuel filter i have checked all vaccum lines and also cleaned out fuel rail and injectors. all injectors work and mist adequate fuel. I have also disconnected catalytic converter and still have problem. I am thinking now it is one of three sensors. AIR IDOL CONTROL, IDOL POSITION OR MASS AIR FLOW. I do not know how to check these sensors with out replacing all. I have no engine light on. Any other insight would be great

thanks

Hi there,

go and have a Scan anyway as you don't always get a light on with a fault code.
