Engine Performance problem
1998 Mazda 323 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

when driving with the engine properly warmed up, at stop and start off the engine shudders a little and does not pick up normally. This lasts only a couple of secs and the engine runs smoothly thereafter. This happens at irregular intervals and not at every stop either. What could be the problem? I had replaced the air cleaner a few weeks ago.

Have checked the transmission level? If the fluid level is low it could cause the shuddering that you feel.
