Hi, Guest
Over the last week or so, when the car is cold or has been driven a short distance, it will arbitrarily stall or come damn close when shifted from any gear to Park.
Shifting to any gear from Park results in same old, same old - runs fine, no issues. Pulling away from a stop is fine, but the odd time braking hard and coming to a complete stop will cause it to idle really low (<400 RPMs) and then shoot back up. Actually, it did stall once for Sara last week when she came to a full stop from highway speed at an intersection. Driving at speed makes for the same experience as always, although it does feel a tad bit more sluggish above 5K RPMs.
Things I've put my finger on so far that could be contributing to this:
- Factory plugs are still in (and approaching 100,000 KMs).
- Fuel filter hasn't been done in quite a while (>20,000 KMs on this filter by far).
- Fuel injectors haven't been serviced at all since new (is this needed before 100,000 KMs?)
- The last couple of gas additions were 10-15 dollars with the tank near reserve. Have a sucked a bit more particulate than usual into the line and into the filter?
Fuel economy doesn't seem to be suffering much if at all. We're heading down to Caledon this weekend and I'll keep my eye on it.
Should I throw a can of fuel injector cleaner in it? Should I just get the dang injectors flushed or changed when I get an oil change next week?
