Have u put in gas in the car recently from a gas station that u don't normally use?
Let's start with the simple things....
First check the voltage of your battery.....one way to do it is with the on-board diagnostic system on you A/C control .....or actually using a voltmeter......or guestimate by turning the car off ..leaving the headlights on...if they dim a bit after a minute or less the I would first get it looked at.......
Second, It could be dirty gasoline......I recommed you put in one of those gas treatment products at less than half a tankfull drive it around for day and then fill it up....and drive it until its quarter full ...then refill as usual ........make sure u always use 91 octane or higher if available.
Next I would look at plug wires ....change em (only about 90$..and it is a 15 minute job)......
Check to see if your wiring harness is in good shape...if any wires are dry...there is a good chance there might be an iternal crack...remove the black platic small cover on the front of your engine...most of the wires should be visible under it ...check if anything is loss or damaged.
You may also want the car diagnosed by a star diagnostic system. Maybe there is code registered there ..which will save u time and money.
When your car is on and idling...try tapping lightly on your MAS sensor ....and report any symptoms you observe.
Is your idle smooth ...or does it fluctuate..up and down ......also ...does your car experience any loss of power while driving..and if it does does this happen while accelerating, t steady speed......
Finally Don't wanna scare you but.....the most it could be is ......first a bad throttle control ..therefore you throttle body has to be changed (750$ part)....or worst case senario you ECU is bad...
Glad to help out......let me know what happens...with you ..I am just over a similar problem ....which magically got resolved on its own......maybe it was bad gas...that is my only logical explanation..
