Hello. Some great mind solved my last issue on here so thought I'd give it another quick post. A while ago I started noticing around 2k rpm in first gear a bit of stutter and jolting but it would resolve with throttle and speed (also mostly while cold) Now it has been audible engine struggle like it's about to stall when I'm getting going, accompanied by heavy jolting of course but it resolves around 25km/h. If I'm verrrry gentle and not on an uphill it isn't as rough. My thoughts are maybe EGR letting through too much, as the little vacuum line connected to the front of the air box broke off. Maybe a coil pack but there is no code
Thanks

 

Do you have a CEL? Would go a long way to pinning the problem down. 2003 ES correct? Could be a vacuum leak but if so I'd expect a check engine light. How many miles on the car?

 

Haha it was you who fixed my **** last time thanks mate. The issue was a cracked intake hose right after the resonator box, running lean I guess. There is still a sharp hiss of air for a second as I rev it, but I replaced that section from throttle body to top of air box with a silicone piece, connecting the pcv to it through a hole I cut. No CEL. Seems to running ok now but there seems to be a vacuum leak around the manifold still from what I can hear, if I do it too much it stutters. Might replace the intake manifold gasket and inspect other hoses while I'm in there
Thanks again mate
