Car Surging?

[irish91983]

Hi All

I'm having some issues with my car. I noticed for a while now every once in a while when I would be driving my car would kinda surge like it wants to stall but catches it self, but it would be so minor. Now I noticed its doing it alot more and today it actually stalled and after it started up fine then i was driving and it kept surging. The car would die down then the rpm's would rev up and the ses light would come on for a second, but no codes are stored.

Any ideas on what would cause this?

Thanks
Keith

Changed the fuel filter lately?

Hmmm I think I did it over the summer. But would that cause the SES light to come on?

I dunno, but it will only take 20 minutes to find out. In my opinion, the fuel filter is THE most neglected maintenance item, and it really should be the first.

I make sure i keep up with it, Im pretty sure it was done back in june or july. But I think it is about time to change it. Any other ideas on what it could be?

Sure, about ten, but when I hear hoofbeats, I think of horses, not zebras.

there are quite a few possibilities of what it could be. like was said before check the fuel pressre and filter.

could also be a bad coil sometimes
