Recently I've noticed a couple of things with my 04 (with 29K miles).
- First start after sitting a couple of days takes more cranking than it used to. Almost like it needs to prime the fuel system.
- At idle, it has a slight lope to it. I use rough in the title but it's hard to really describe. It's not rough as in the car shaking but I can feel a slight miss randomly.
- Under light to moderate acceleration the car feels like it's either hesitating or slipping. I was thinking the clutch was starting to go out but in 5th gear at 45 mph, if I give it a good amount of throttle their isn't a slip.
Generally speaking once the RPM's come up the car runs perfect. If I give the car full throttle it spins the tires and runs great. It's just this lower RPM hesitation or slipping that has me some what stumped.
I'm planning on doing some general maintenance to the car now that I finished the complete suspension rebuild/upgrade. I've got some new plugs and will be doing a full fluid flush of the car.
The engine is pretty much stock. Stock pulley with bassani catback. I just added a JLT RAI a couple months ago though.
Does this sound like clutch or something else? I'm open to ideas.
