One of the great things in this country is that there are lots of other places that you can work on your car, other than your apartment building's parking lot.

You can work on your car in the parking lot at the Autozone or Pep's Boys that you buy parts from, or a Walmart parking lot, or lots of other places.

From your symptoms, the first thing I would inspect would be the spark plugs and wires, to make sure everything is mounted properly. Then I would pull off the plugs one at a time and see if you notice one plug being fouled, or running leaner than the rest.

I would check the condition of the air filters, and make sure the connection from the air box to the throttle body is perfect after that is done.

If that doesn't produce results, then I would follow up with the forum with more information after that.

Since we don't know how many miles, or what year your car is, we can't really ask if you've had certain things done to the car yet.

We need info.
