Jumping when take off/accelerating and slightly noisy idle, as if a low snore.

Hi,

If they are the original plugs, it is time to replace them. However, is the check engine light staying on when the engine is running? If it is, scan the computer to see what diagnostics trouble codes are stored. That will likely direct us to the problem.

Here is a video showing how it's done:

Let me know. Also, if it's possible, record what it is happening and upload it for me to see and hear. Hopefully, that will help me diagnose the issue.

Take care,
Joe
