John is onto something. Every time i have seen it the issue has been all the time. I would totally believe that could be it though. Easy to check when getting to plugs.

Good one John

 

Thanks John. I sent this information to the mechanic. Hopefully the plugs haven't ben replaced yet. Much appreciated.

 

I hope that helps. I know when I had the issue, I had the dealership and several independents try to find it and nobody could fix it. I was really pleased when I cured the problem with a shot in the dark. I hope it works for you, too.

 

UPDATE:
Sam, JS - I replaced the plugs
John - I replaced both the solenoids

Thanks guys! Been driving car for 1 1/2 weeks now. The car is running PERF##T! These have been famous last words on more than one occasion, so I didn't want to jinx things.

Much appreciate your valuable advice.

Mike

 

Glad to hear that, Mike! Sounds like you found the issue.
