Almost certain it will be the torque converter assuming it's an auto

Don't know sorry, I got lucky......... I only had mine for a month when mine started doing the same thing so it got fixed under warranty. If you do some research you will find they had a common problem with the converters

I'm thinking perhaps a weak coil pack or failing spark plug.

@chenka44 you posted your 1st thread @ 6:17 and then create this new identical thread @ 6:52 May just show youthful impatience and/or a lack of understanding of cross posting forum rules.

Doing such isn’t ideal as it can obscure suggestions and the ultimate solution as the info is spread within the 2 threads.

Maybe a moderator (@Immortality) can merge the 2 replies here with the 1st created thread?
