Ok, I posted this on another forum, so I'm going to meld it all together. I was wondering if I could get some advice or opinions on what my problem might be.
...
Well, I really don't know what it is, but I'm hoping you guys could give me some advice and direction. Recently the engine has been having some trouble starting, although the frequency varies. Sometimes it will also idle very rough and surge while in park. I also noticed a small ticking sound coming from somewhere. It also shifts hard out of park into drive from time to time, but I think that may be because its sits for awhile. Although I drove it around for the past two days and it did it.
Otherwise it seems to run fine during hard acceleration and just normal around town cruising. Any ideas?
...
No SES lights at all, the only time its comes on is when I get onto the highway. I checked that out and its just because I have a different filter on the car (so its a MAF thing).
As for RPMs, I don't have a tach, so I don't have a way of checking atm.
...
I'm not entirely sure, but my mechanic checked it when it was on last (its comes off and on, usually when I jump on the highway) and said it was the air filter causing it. For the record, my mechanic is the only one I trust with my car, so I believe him.
I was just thinking back though. When I changed the rad hoses recently and took it out for a drive, the car stumbled and wouldn't accelerate, which my dad said never happened last time. It did it twice, once at around 60KPH, and once at about 80 as I was getting on the highway. It has ran fine since though.
Would the fuel filter have anything to do with that?
...
I also can hear a constant whirring sounds as the car drives that has started to become steady the past little while.
...
The first part is my original post, the second two are answer to questions as well as some clarification and further explanation. Hopefully that will save some time.
