engine acting crazy, please help!
My car started acting very weird a few days ago.
while idling or driving, the car jerks sometimes (rpms rapidly drop like the engine would want to stall or something) sometimes just a little, sometimes completely cuts off while driving.
This happens completely randomly, one day it's completely fine, another it's happening every few minutes, sometimes it just drops for a second and then it's fine the rest of the drive. If it stalls it sometimes starts back up at first try, others i have to keep cranking a couple of times it feels like the engine is not igniting.
things i already checked/replaced:
MAF, distributor, spark leads, injectors, checked all vaccum lines, fuel system
spark plugs are next on the list, then i'm going to try it with another ECM
can anyone point me to the right direction? my guess it's electrical/ignitions system fault, but the ECM is not showing any fault codes.
Thank you for any tips or advices
