so what's up with my car
my car has been acting weird lately. Along with it having a total lack of power, but I've yet to get it on an oscilliscope to see if I'm missin a cyl or somethin, it's also doin this weird bit where sometimes at lower rpms, I'll be goin tryin to keep a steady speed, get on the gas a lil, and it doesn't do anything. Keep pushin till I'm at like 1/4 throttle, then it starts sputtering and carrying on, then go further and it finally catches itself and starts goin. The way it acts is like it's cuttin fuel in and out when I apply throttle at lower rpms like when I'm tryin to maintain a certain speed. Any idea what this sounds like? Also have some wiring issue, somethin keeps gettin loose at that starter relay cuz I'll loose power to everything sometimes, and have to go wiggle that before I can get any pwoer back, so I know that needs to be tightened, but I don't think it's just loosing power, but maybe? Also usually when this even happens, my coolant washer and engine oil light come on.

for crap sake!! don't be so lazy go clean the connections and tighten them.... and if your car has a maf clean it and see what that does if not..run a koeo/koer test and check for codes
