While sitting at a stop sign (in drive), waiting for the light to turn green, I noticed that my 2000 Taurus drops from about 1 RPM to below, and the catches itself and gains again. What is going on? It's like the car wants to stall, but than catches itself and fixes the problem. It's never done this before and it scares the crap out of me!
This might not be related, but it has had a tough time starting in the heat. It's never acted up before, so this is very uncharacteristic. Should I take it in?
Once we got going, the car was fine and I didn't hear any funny sounds. When I got to work, I pulled into a parking spot, stopped, but kept the car in drive. I still noticed the problem, but not quite as bad. When I put it in park, I barely notice it.
Help, I am so lost about cars, and don't want to take it in and get ripped off from a dealer.
Anyone in Bloomington/St. Louis Park area of the Twin Cities know of a good mechanic?
