random jerking like at about 2300rpm - 5/11/2008 11:06:08 AM    damifino   Posts: 10 Joined: 5/11/2008 Status: offline i will be driving either normal or aggressive and all of a sudden the check engine light will come on and the car will jerk llike it just stalled and start slowing down leaving the gas pedal useless. i have to turn off the car and restart it for it to stop doing that. the light will stay on but then go off after a few different times of restarts. then a week or two later itll do it again???? whats going on can anyone relate and help!?! also i just added a cold air intake and was wondering about the driving in the rain or after it just rained, i dont have a flter cover just yet but is it ok to drive?

I just added a bottle of Redline SI-1 and much better just needed clean injectors.
