Keokuk,
Iowa
1990 Eagle Talon TSi AWD 5spd
138k miles
Recent maintenance: Changed oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs, and spark plug wires no less then 500 miles ago. Added a can of Gunk injector cleaner to the gas tank two fillups ago.
Problem: The car jerks really bad. Kind of constantly cuts out then comes back in. Has an idle surge, but continues to surge while driving. I find that if I let the car warm up thoroughly then the surge will not happen. But if I try to drive it while its still a tad cold it will surge and be a pain to drive(very jerky, have to ride clutch). It also will just start to happen out of nowhere sometimes, very random. And on highways, I cannot drive on highways. If the car is acting fine, then I go for a 30 mile road trip on the highway(55-60mph only) it will start to surge.
I dont know, but it kind of feels like a dieing fuel pump? Maybe a clogged injector somehow? I have a logger but I need to buy a cable for my Palm m105 for it to work. In the mean time, does anybody have any insight? I dont want to go buying and replacing parts when I dont really know what the problem is. Thanks in advance guys!
