Does this do it when parked, in neutral, park, drive, ect? Hot or cold? How fast? (do you have a tachometer?)
You should be seeing a check engine light or a service engine soon light.

Have the code read at an auto parts house. Then post the EXACT number here. That will give us a place to start looking.



Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds
