Last 3 weeks - initially seemed like power loss/surge, then heard unusual sound coming from engine compartment 1 week ago, engine started to die while operating on city/residential streets whenever not pushing gas (slowing to turn or stop) Friday, would not even hold idle to start, pushed gas and held RPM's at 1 - 1.5 for a while and finally started. Today, initially would not start. Next time started RPM's at over 2, dropped when shifted to reverse, when shifted to drive vehicle accelerated without use of gas pedal up to steady 35 mph on city street. After 1 mile, at next intersection started making that strange noise in engine compartment (like air or fluid under pressure ie air compressor/high pressure water sound) while pressing brake shifted into neutral RPM's revved to 2.5, in drive and reverse dropped to 1.5, in park revved to 2.5, after turn automobile accelerated to steady 40 mph on city street without gas being pushed at next stop (1 mile) returned to normal idle and operation. Has problem both when cold and hot weather and cold or hot start. It has not produced a check engine light or any codes
