So I was obsessing that I was at the 4k mile mark oil change wise and was going on a several hundred mile trip. so I dropped the car off at a tire service center near the house that I used to put 500.oo worth of rubber on the car a month ago and I usually stand by and keep an eye on things but didnt and bfr I left I said its a deisel and make sure they put rotella in it!.
I usually do the oil change myself cause it makes me crazy the way they always slobber oil around the unit that holds the filter when they R&R.

Am starting a business right now and just don't have the time...anyhow,,,
Picked it up later and is running like its fuel starved when pulling out!
Took the drive anyway thinking ive been doing a lot of short trips and the freeway would blow the dust out! Ran fine on the freeway but still does this hesitation chugging thing when stepping on it from a stand still.
Looked at the A/F and it was dirty so I plunked down the 50 bucks and its still the same....MY prefilter on the fuel line looks fine but I think I will swap out the main filter tomorrow. It's never acted this way before and I find it TOO coincidental that this started right after the oil change. I did call them and ask if they put some pisswater pennzy in it and they swear not!

They said drop it off and they will take a look and I may do that after a few of you wise ones chime in.

as always...all reply's will be GREATLY appreciated.
