Temperature change causing issues
Temperature change causing issues
Okay guys here's the issue. Drove all winter perfect. Once it started to warm up to like the 40 and 50s last month I noticed that the car would skip alittle while just cruising. Now this skip was very faint almost unoticable. I figured the change in temperature was just causing the fuel trims to be all crazy. So now the last 3_4 weeks when its really warm outside like 70 when I take off in first gear the car kinda sputters. I feel like its gonna stall. The odd thing is its only when its warm out. Like during the day when its 70 it will do it then at night when its 40 or 50 it will drive perfect. Its only first gear or if I am cruising. Could this just be the change in temperature. The temps have been super crazy this spring. One day its 70 or 80 the next its 30. Thanks guys for any help.
Spark plugs have 15K miles on them. It is a 5 speed manual. I was thinking maybe clutch, but I did a few test like go up a hill in a low gear and floor it, didn't seem to slip at all. And when i put it to the floor it doesn't hesitate or stutter. Also the temperature of the engine/trans doesn't seem to effect it. Like if I am driving to school in the morning and it is 40 degrees outside it will drive fine at start and optimal temperature. Then when I get out it will be 60 or 70 outside and I first start the car up it does the hesitation. Its very odd. The only thing i can think of is the temperature, it has been fluctuating up and down so much lately outside.
Recommend any specific injector cleaner? I am going to clean the MAF senor tomorrow. Its the only thing besides the spark plugs or the injectors that I can think of.
