Started up the car today, It had been sitting in the garage for about a week without being started. I get out of the garage and about 1 block away when the engine starts to bog down. I am in the 1000-2500 rpm range when this happens. I then gave it a little more gas and it sounded to backfire in the left side. When it was bogging it sounded like it wanted to die but by adding more gas it seemed to get thru it. once it reved back down it bogged again then backfired, a little more bogging then it was normal again.

This has happend to me 2 times before, the bogging down. It always goes away after i drive about a block but today is the first time it backfired like that and it has got me worried.

I wasnt too worried about the bogging itself, it happened the first time, and i thought well that was weird, went a couple of months and then it did it again. I thought if it happens again im going to take it in and see. A couple more months go by and now this! I am definately taking it to get looked at but can any arm chair mechanics perhaps enlighten me as to what this might be? :bang:

 

clogged fuel injectors??

 

Hmmmm, so maybe something in my fuel lines/tank? It would have to be wouldnt it? When i first start the car its not happening, I got a block away from the house before it bogged. I think maybe ill try some fuel cleaner and take the car in monday.

 

Keep me informed.Always nice to learn something new

 

Wasn't there a TSB issued sometime ago about coil pack misfire or something of the sort?
