Engine problems continued...
Yesterday after work I went to the car and it started up fine (in the morning I had some problems with the engine dying/coming back to life continously).
I suspected condensation in the fuel tank and/or fuel filter.
Anyway the car started up fine, worked fine all night, worked fine this morning, but at lunch time it started acting up in the same way.
at idle, check-engine light turns on, rpms fall to 0 (or almost 0), check light turns off, rpms rise up to 1500-2000. If I give it gas I hear air go in, the "vroom" of the engine but rpms never go up....
Could this be ECU related? still water in my gas?... any feedback appreciated.
thanks,
Liam

Thanks but mine isn't ok above any rpm. your problem sounds like
you are running on less cylinders. (at low rpms the engine has more problems running, but at high rpms everything is ok). maybe a spark plug problem. check those first.
But Ron_c suggested checking the coil-pack, I'll do that.
best of luck,
Liam
