Hello,
I have a 96 SE (my 2nd 2.0) and I'm having an issue that just started a few weeks ago where the car will stutter hard as if the key were momentarily shut off and this happens at random at any speed. Sometimes it happens once, sometimes it happens 2,3,4 times in sequence. I can't really find any consistent patterns or triggers. Any suggestions?
My thoughts were to look at the MAF and TPS but I would think those would be a more consistent rough running issue, when the car doesn't stutter it's fine. It just feels like it shuts down then comes back to life. Battery connections appear to be solid, my old one used to stall momentarily because the negative terminal was loose but don't think that is the case here and this has more of a bucking/jerking feeling. My mechanic said he couldn't reproduce it but don't think he really tried. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
