I would start by taking out the air filter and see how it runs. A cloged filter will cause a problem like you describe. ...Art

Another good thing to check would be the EGR valve, if it is bad, you could be sucking oil into the intake manifold. -- Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings; they did it by killing a

A car that is stored for four years can have a number of problems that are caused by the storage. Generally they are not at all serious, but they will require that you get your hands dirty. Let's as

I was just laying underneath my 'B, tightening the exhaust pipe, and realized how much work I've done on it in the last 36 hours for less than $75. I've tightened up the steering wheel, insulated th
