Car skips, runs rough and loses power and wants to die

Ignitiontune.....new distributrcap or plugwires..maybecoil or modulre

There should be stored codes in the computer. Have them read and they should give you a starting point.

suspect low fuel pressure to the injectors
run the fault codes to determine where the fault may be before you spend money

Sounds like a spark plug or wire issue. Anytime the vehicle starts to skip, die, or (run rough) its usually these minor things. However if that does not help, start looking into your fuel system. Always try cheapest first. Plugs and Wires....Good luck...

Check fuel filter it might need replacing, then have fuel pump checked.

===========

These details will help.

Thanks.

With the car running rough it could cause the harsh shift but if it is staying at 5000 rpms then the ****** is about to go out on you. The rough idle sounds like a vacuum leak. If you can keep the car running at idle listen for a sucking type sound. That would indicate where the vacuum leak is.

SOUNDS LIKE YOUR CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS DYING

coil pack, mine did same.

Is it a diesel or petrol??
