I just recently inherited my brothers 2003.5 MSP and it has some issues that I need help fixing. The first is that when I start the car, the car idles great for a minute or so. After that minute, the car asks drops rpm and almost dies then revs up again and runs fine. It does this every other minute. It starts fine and the oil tempurature is normal. Also, when driving the car and i apply full throttle, the car kinda acts like its bogging out and lurches foward a couple times. If you apply around 25% throttle, then the car acts like it should when full throttled and boosts fine and revs fine. But once you give it over 25% throttle, the car lurches foward and backward, and loses power again. The car also smells like its running rich i shut off the car. I wish I had more info but this would be the first vehicle for me that doesnt run on diesel for me. So please help me out, and let me know what your thoughts are.
