Default here we go again

Here's a brief breakdown (pun intended) of what my car is doing now. It ran fine earlier today, going along happily in traffic for nearly an hour. I get to my destination and turn the car off. An hour later, I turn it back on to get some food and it's stuttering and missing.

I checked all connections under the hood, everything seemed fine. Any insight?

Mine is just the opposite. At idle, it misses and while driving it is fine, no problems while under acceleration. I just had the timing done and it was fine. The car is posessed by demons.

Gotta be something like that. I should have never left the house, the sky was yellow. That means bad things, right?

hope you get it worked out craig, if it's like my old roommate's car, it will likely work itself out randomly and disappear tomorrow

holy crap, that sandstorm has cursed my car too! melted the throttle cable, made holes in the 2 front brake lines, blew up the heater hose, shorted out my battery, made the belt on my water pump pop off, broke my water pump, my car wont turn off unless i stall it, i cant start the car unless i use the keyless start up, and i think thats about it! dont feel bad, my car has morte problems, all thats left to fix though is the water pump and thats already off im just wating on a new one.
