Hit and miss
Car has been acting a little funny for the last week or so. I had the exact same symptoms last year and it was a plug wire. Car has new wires as of last Saturday.
Anyway...
I can start it, and it sounds like its missing on a cylinder. Play with the throttle and try driving it like it, and the entire driveline shutters. Its definitely engine, because it does it in park and neutral too. I've been noticing it generally happens when the car is cold or cooled for a while. When it does it, I shut it off and play with the wires and check over connections. Everything feels secure, but it still does it. Try the same thing again, and now it runs smooth.
Whats going on with this thing? I'm gonna pop all the plug wires and put die-electric grease on the connections -- didn't do that when I installed them.
