Not urgent, but would like some help. 1999 I4.
I have been reading many many threads, but have yet to feel I have a conclusive solution.
I bought the car with 173K. Soon after the fuel pump would run even though the car was not turned on; it happens regularly depending on how much gas is in it. I don't think this is related to my other more important issue. Code is P1456 and I have replaced the gas cap.
On to the reason for this thread. It started stumbling upon gentle acceleration or under load 5-6 months ago; at first it was very slight and very infrequent. Now as soon as it warms up a bit it starts to get jerky as I said before; does not do it above about 3K RPM.
A few months ago I was driving and the gauges turned off and I believe the engine did too, then turned right back on in half a second. Then a few days ago it cranked then everything shut down; did it again and same thing; third time it started right up.
I have cleaned the egr as some have recommended for the stumble part, little help but it was not the problem.
This problem is so specific that there must be a specific cause that someone can advise me on what it is. OR, is this multiple issues?
Please. Thanks.
Now more urgent. Please read post #11 on next page.
