Ok so here's the problem: Today I was driving and my car started jerking/bucking like it was stalling. I gave it a little gas and it didn't really help at all. I down-shifted to 2nd gear and that didn't help either. The engine was still running, but it just felt like the car was going to stall. I kept driving and the problem stopped just a few seconds later.
This is the 2nd time something like this has happened. The first time it happened while I was accelerating in 2nd gear. The car would just "die" and nothing would happen when I stepped on the accelerator. I downshifted to first and the problem stopped, and I just shifted through the gears as usual. No problems until today. Both times this happened it was raining/wet out.
So any ideas what could be wrong? I just got a minor tune-up about a month/two months ago. (plugs, filters, no wires or cap and rotor) I also just replaced my starter a few weeks ago. Thanks for the help in advance.
