- Berlina VT 1998 3.8l
Hi ladies and gents,
poured over a few other posts but couldnt really see anything that might help me with my issue,
I have a 98 VT berlina... the problems im noticing now are...
when idle about 800 rpm its a bit rough, now from memory it use to idle at 1000rpm, this would suggest 1 cycinder not working?
when im driving on the Motorway at 100km/h the rpm is about 1800 , i thought it used to be 2000rpm...
when on motorway or general road , going up slight hill with just continuious accelerator (meaning i dont put my foot down, leave the accelerator at the same level as cruizing on flat road, then headding up a small hill...) i can feel the car say surging, like the cylinder cuts in and then out..
if i put my foot down.. i get all the power (well i think i do)
so what i plan on doing is replacing the spark plugs this weekend.. i will look for oil on the plugs, asuming that doesnt fix the issue , where do you think i should go next?
i dont know if this has reference but somtimes when i start the car from the time i turn the key to "start" and from ignition to start car... there about a 1-2 second delay.. and then she fires, this was happening for about 1 month, and now its stopped... but come back now and then, i was just thinking faulty starter motor.
