OK, I have a '99 GS, auto. All that is done to the car is intake. Has fresh plugs in it. Wires are good. Car only has 26k miles on it.

When you come to a stop, coming down from lets say 45-50mph right before you stop, say right around 5-8mph brakes feel like they loose a little pressure and car will rev about 1000rpm. Car still stops, but is just weird like that.

Also, don't know if this is a related problem, but when you are going, and you just floor it, it acts like it is about to stall, and hessitates(falls on it's face), for a half of a sec and then it goes. Acts like the whole motor is about to cut off, but comes back to life.


Really weird. I am thinking possibly a vaccum line/fitting somewhere. But where should I check first?? Please help, I have no idea how to figure this out, and I want to!

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

Try running some injector cleaner (for the second problem) possibly dirty fuel injectors. Not sure about the brake thing, it could be related to the second problem.
 
hmmm, I'll try that. Is there anywhere that I can take the injectors too and have them professionally cleaned? How hard are they to take out?
 
could it also be maybe the wires? Maybe they are missing/cutting out. I'll try that. hmmm. does this car have a fuel filter? where abouts it is located?
