2.3 L
100,000+ miles
Extremely rough idle, teeth chattering.
Fluctuating RPM gauge.
When the RPM gauge is normal, everything's smooth.
When it drops to zero, everything heaves violently.
Didn't know it was possible to have power with zero RPMs. Sluggish acceleration.
During acceleration a loud clicking/knocking sound comes from engine.
Often this problem is only during the first 15-20 minutes of driving, then the RPMs shoot up and it smooths out.
Pronounced smell of gasoline after driving this way. Sometimes a burnt smell.
