Default Re: Rough Idle and Limp Power

Read this thread too. Tried to provide my thoughts in order of simplicity.

1) Remove the plastic guard that covers the fuel pump (pretty close to directly underneath the trunk/behind the exhaust tips) and check all those rubbers hoses going in and out of the fuel filter. I have posted another thread about this but that rubber has rotted on many of our cars after 8 years and if you have a hairline tear in one of your pressurized fuel pumps (I posted up a diagram in the same thread indicating which hose is which) your car could be stuttering because there isn't enough pressure in your fuel line (ask me how I know).

2) How old is your battery? You need a new one if you are (hopefully not) still using the OEM battery. Cars will do weird things when the battery starts to go and this would be a straightforward thing to do + preventative maintenance item as well.

3) https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...-no-start.html Perhaps check this out (what others a referring to when they talk about pulling out the soldering iron).

4) As others have mentioned, you can try the CPS issue but your symptoms are different from what I and others have had when the CPS goes bad (my car would literally just die, once at 60mph and once at a stop light). I would exhaust other options before this.
