I asked a question earlier, but now I realize I don't think this is a transmission or clutch problem, because the engine seems to be misfiring when it idles (it started when I was going up a hill)
Does anyone know if this is serious? Could I be left stranded if I drive somewhere? Actually, this reminds me of when the ignition coils went.
My previous question:
I have a 2002 VW Jetta (turbo).. and today it started to lose power and vibrating in second gear going up a steep hill. The check engine light also flashed a few times. After the steep hill it was ok (I didn't accelerate hard anymore to make sure I don't damage anything). Any idea what this could be?
Also, I noticed after going into 1st or 2nd gear it felt a bit jerky.
Thanks

You ought to replace the spark plugs, the wires, and the cap and rotor.
Likely, the air filter and an oil and filter change wouldn't hurt.
