and now for the latest problem. . .today, when i left for work, the car stalled three or four times is quick succession. the first start was UGLY. the car shuddered a whole lot and finall started up. tach went to about 1500, settles back down to 750, then dropped to zero. similar thing happened for the next few, except the initial start wasn't as ugly. the rpm's fluctuate a little (like between 750 and 1000), but it mostly just teases me a little by letting me think it will keep running, then dies. after the fourth start today, it started up, i pulled out of the driveway, no problem. it's just at a cold start. any ideas? any problems this could be that would hamper me on a long trip? (my usual question)
thanks for the help
(and thanks to all for the help on my fluids question)
