OK i drove my hatch to work like i do everyday. no problems. at the end of the day i needed gas and i knew i did so i started the car i usually wait for my mp3 player to start playing before i drive off, being that it was a nice sunny day i knew i didn't need a full warm up. my mp3 player takes a min or 2 to read the format when i put a new cd in. which i made at work. so i go up the block to a gas station that i go to from time to time. stopped told him fill her up. 17 bucks later i start the car and it didn't seem right. now the motor was still not 100% warm yet so i moved from the pump let it get warm but it was acting funny. almost like a hickup. so i got out the car opened the hood everything seemed fine but i heard a small miss from time to time. so i went back in the car and it was idling like normal. so i started my 25 mile trip home. on the highway my car had no power was so ever. so i said let me at least get close to home and i will check it out. once i got to 21 out of 25 miles i got full power back no more hickups everything was like normal. i got home took out my spark plugs checked the gaps cleaned them off checked my plug wires read 7 ohms. so i know my plugs are fine so are my wires. what the hell could that have been? the only thing different about yesterday is that it rained the whole day then stopped about 1 hour before i left. could it have been the mosture in the air? maybe one of my plugs fouled up on me from not being warm and shutting off the car to get gas? i ordered my new spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor, fuel filter, to give it a full tune up, think that was my problem? 100% lost on that one!
