Starting the car is fine. For the first few minutes, the car drives and idles fine. Once the car has been on for about 10 minutes it starts to shudder. With the gas pedal all the way down, I literally cannot hit over 30mph. RPMs will hit roughly 5000.
I've checked the IACv and cleaned it out (full of gunk). Spark plugs and assemblies are new. Oil is fresh. All fluids are good. Air filter is new.
Known issue with fuel injectors leaking, but the problem was rather sudden at a stop light. Car was working, then car was not working.
After the shuddering starts:
If I idle the car, it is a little rough, but not bad.
If I switch gears (Park to Reverse or Reverse to Drive), it shudders as if it is going to die and the dash lights dim.
After the car catches itself, it idles okay. Again, rough, but not bad.
Help? Please????
One other thing. Check engine light Code 12 - EGR.
I've pulled the vacuum line on the EGRv and there was no change in the engine.
I really need some help here.
Thanks a bunch!
