Hey guys, I was drivin' along last night everythings all good and I come to a stop. As I accelerate, I felt the car shake as it passed through 2k rpm.
Mostly under load at 2k rpm, the engine feels like a misfire, though. Idle is smooth, acceleration feels good except for the times I pass through 2k rpm.
It's funny because the inspection light just came on the day before yesterday. Anyway... On very cold starts, shifting out of park the engine seems to fall down to 500 or so rpm and stumble it's way back up, almost like it can't keep running. Gas mileage has also been extremely poor. I'm thinking this is all the same problem? I'm not so sure, though.
What should I check?
