Alright here is the problem, the other day i was driving back from Louisiana going about 70, well i ended up having to slow way down due to traffic. As traffic picked up again i gave it some gas and it felt like i was out of gas, misfiring or in to high of a gear, so i downshifted to second and it did the same thing. Well it all of a sudden fixed itself and i carried on. I got home and checked my oil as i have a drip and can smell it when the motor is under a load, it was low so i filled it.
Today drove a few miles and parked it for probable 20 minutes went back out to go somewhere and it idled at about 500. I ignored it until i went to go and it wouldn't go. seemed like it was misfiring or the timing was way off. so i tried revving and it would barely respond and i could only get it to rev up to 2000 RPMs even when flooring it. So i started to drive to see if it would resolve itself and sure enough it did. It was jerking slightly in first and would only rev to 2000 so i shifted and heard a pop and it then picked up and ran like normal.

Any ideas. I also set the timing to 12 a few weeks ago and it did good up till the past to incidents.
sorry for the long post but i wanted to include the whole story. And by the way its the 3.0

 

No one has any input?

 

How do the spark plugs look? The oil? Coolant?

 

no check engine light plugs are fairly new only about 7k miles on them since i did the head gasket, same with coolant, its full. new cap and rotor. didn't give it new wires but they are also kinda new.

 

IMO, while the plugs are relatively new, take a look at them anyhow..they just may have a story to tell.

 

I will try to pull them out tomorrow, and take a look. I'll post up and let yall know. Thanks in advance. What should I be looking for on them. Since its not a constant problem it will have to be some permanent damage to them or something right?

 

Check for loose or corroded grounds too....

 

Sounds like a plan. I'll try and let y'all know tomorrow
