Re: 1998 Intrigue 3800 Engine Trouble. (Missing/bucking under power)

Hard to say, could be catalytic converts clogged, could be crank angle sensor, fuel problems, spark problems etc, however these newer cars can self diagnose problems.

Here we have "Autozone Parts" that for free has a BASIC scanner that will pull problem codes and tell you your problem. Try to find some parts house that has the scanner and not guess at the problems.

Once you get it up to speed and set the cruise it will run fine until you get to a hill or something where it comes under load again and then it cuts out. Anyone have any clue on what I should look for???
