Well, for starters, the key gets stuck in the ignition and the ignition after startup and the ignition will only turn halfway off. You have to fiddle around with it to get the key out. Not a bad thing because it's very sporadic, but I would like to know the problem so as to fix it.
Next discrepancy would be the jerking and loss of power. Going up hills and whenever it feels like it, the engine loses power, the engine light starts to blink and the car starts to jerk. It could need new spark plugs or new oxygen sensors. My family has gone through hundreds of dollars in replacement parts and hours of labor replacing parts ourselves; only to find driving it the next day it's not fixed. Taking the car to a dealer or repair shop is costly, I would rather do the work myself. Has anyone had this problem before and found a concrete solution? Would love some input, I don't want to run this car down, after all it's lasted this long, and it has over 150,000 miles and has never given us trouble.
