sup guys, every once in a while, although it seems to be happening more often lately, when i start up my car it'll hesitate and sputter and idle really low....a tap on the gas pedal and things are back to normal though...my N/T has ~133k on it, any ideas on what could be causing this? bad fuel pump? clogged filter?
 
well thats a start don't forget spark plugs, wires, bad timing belt if to old and stretched can cuase that to. and buildup on the valves. clean your iac to might be sticking.
 
wires and plugs are new, and i was told the timing belt was new when i bought the damn thing....course a dealer will "tell" you anything :rolleyes: ...guess I'll check that out...good call on cleaning the iac tho, that might do it....thanks
