Hey everyone, I have an odd issue here.
After about 20 minutes of driving the car starts sputtering (it feels like it's running on 4-5 of the 6 cylinders). There's no CEL on. If I pull over and immediately try to start it, it will either hesitate and restart with a rough idle, or it will crank and the crank has a dead spot in it like it's catching something.
After I let it sit for 10-15 minutes, it will start and run just fine. (If I'm on the highway and cut the engine, after about 30-45 seconds of coasting, it will do the same thing) But after another 20 minutes of driving, it will start acting up again.
Another thing worth mentioning is that after I try to do an immediate restart, the tach won't work until the car either starts acting up again, or if it sits for that 10-15 minutes.
I've seen some threads about the TPS and the CPS. Do we think it's one of these?
