I just posted earllier about gages and climate control not working, and have since fixed that with a new ignition switch. I was hoping that it would fix this problem too, but no.
The car will hick-up every once in a while while going down the road with no rhyme or reason. This has been going on for about 7-8 years, but it has never stopped me from going any where or getting to the destination. But it is getting to be that it happens every time I make a trip now.
When going down the road it just kills the motor, but if you leave it in gear, it will jump back to running, then back to off, then back, then off... till it stops and runs normally. Nothing else turns off. Most of the time this will only last for about 5-10 seconds, but has been this way before starting the car, and you have to wait till it calms down. It seem that there is a ticking noise coming from somewhere, but was never able to pinpoint it. I think it was soming under the hood near the air filter, but don't know. There has never been anything that I have found to set this off. No bumps in the road, standing on the gas, switch position, rpm leavels...
Really would like to get this fixed, the wife doesn't trust it any more, and you know what that means.
Thanks.
