yeah so i tackled this problem today.. fuel filter fixed the job.. $21 at advance auto parts
find a small crack in the intake tube, i fixed that.
then i cleaned out the throttle body, it was straight black and cleaned some of the inlet on the manifold, as much as i could get my fingers in there.
then i replaced the fuel filter. really easy install, but little more fuel came out than i thought, i still smell like gasoline.
results: drives better, does not cut/turn off, BUT, now i need a VSS vehicle speed sensor. i narrowed then down between napa/advance auto parts/oreillys.. but dont know exactly which one i need. i do know its the one that goes above the transmission.. they range in price between $77-$200
so, anyone know exactly which one i need?
thanks for the help...
