I've been having a problem that has been very hard to diagnose, because its so random, it happens on the road, but never in my garage when I try to fix it. It never triggers the check engine light.
It seems to be that every now and then the engine will cut out for a split second. It feels like alot stronger of a jerk than just a single cylinder misfire. Enough to throw you forward in the seat real quick.
It actually completely cut out about a week ago and wouldn't start up anymore, but I replaced the distributor cap/rotor at that point and the car worked again (although the engine sounds alot different that before and I think it might be lacking power. (gas mileage is still the same though) Anyways I thought that solved the problem, but its happening again. I've got all new spark plugs, cap/rotor, new fuel filter. The plug wires are about 2 years old, the igniter is about 2 years old. The fuel pump makes regular noise like its working. Any Ideas what the likely culprit is?
