...while driving.? I have a 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue with about 95,000 miles. It has the 3.5 Liter engine.
1. When I start the car, it sometimes will immediately cough and die on the first attempt. It usually starts on the second attempt. It has done this in a range of outside temperatures, both with the engine hot and engine cold.
2. While driving the car, it will occaisionally hesitate on acceleration - usually during the first couple minutes after starting the car.
3. While cruising at certain speeds under low to moderate engine load, the engine will surge; depressing the throttle to accelerate causes the surging to go away.
All three of these problems have gotten progressively worse over the past few weeks. Any ideas?
