Let's start with this website.. for the first time, out of nowhere I was Logged on as "Chism" So that was strange. I know others had that problem but it's the first for me.
No the real issue.
Drive to and from the gym this morning the car runs fine. Run in the house, a quick shower and some Groceries down my throat and I'm back in the car within 30 minutes. Start the car and it wont Idle. The idle drops down to the point where the dask lights come on due to low voltage from the alternator. The car is stumbling. I figure a few small revs of the engine might clear it's throat..nope. I gotta get to work and with the manual transmission you can always keep the idle up as you come to Stop signs. Anyway upshifting the car is bucking like it's running on one less cylinder or not getting gas. Buy at 40 mph and up it's happy. For about 7 miles my mind is going crazy and I keep pushing in teh clutch to see what the idle will do. The car stumbles. I continue to work because , well, it's running good enough for me to get there.
After getting off the Expressway ( 50-70MPH road none stop), I come to my first stop sign, Push the clutch in then play the Brake pedal gas pedal game to keep the idle up. As I wait to go, I let the car idle down little by little until I'm off the gas. Car is idling great. I start off from a Stop and no bucking, I put it in Second gear to Lug it...no bucking. The car is happy again. This will bother me all day. At lunch I'll pop thehood check the seating of the ignition wires and such . I do PREVENTATIVE maintenance on my cars so everything has been done so I can't even begin to point to things as possibilities. frustrating
