Wrong forum buddy, this is the 05-09 V6 section.

Bring your car to the dealer.

Well, no need to tell the person they are wrong, but you just need a mod to move it over to the other v6 forums.

Anyways it sounds like some sort of vac leak or something to me. Really need more info

Go to autozone or other local car place and have them read your diagnostic codes. Then post up the codes for more help.

Didn't mean to sound mean lol, my bad.

My brother had that problem on his 02 GT, he had a leak in his intake manifold, get that checked out.
