Consumer Description

DURING THE PAST MONTH I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN 2 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, WITH ENGINE SPUTTERING AND STALLING PERIODICALLY. THE FIRST TIME THE COILS AND SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED (DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THEY WERE LOSE AND BLACK), SECOND TIME THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY, WHICH WAS DUE TO BE REPLACED ANYWAY. NOW I AM ONE WEEK SINCE THE LAST SERVICE AND THE LIGHT HAS COME BACK ON WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IF I DEPRESS THE CLUTCH FOR TOO LONG THE VEHICLE MAY SPUTTER AND POSSIBLY STALL, IT STALLED TWICE AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS ON MY WAY TO WORK, AND WHEN I TAKE OFF I HAVE TO HEAVILY ACCELERATE OR IT JUST WILL NOT GO AT ALL. I AM GOING TO CHECK THE MAF (MASS AIR FLOW) MYSELF TO SEE IF I CAN SEE ANYTHING, ELSE IT WILL BE BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP ON FRIDAY. *TR
