| 97000 mi | Car started running rough again. Skipped the dealer and got Jiffy Lube to change the oil. It was low again even though oil life was 50%. Engine light reset itself once the oil was changed. Can't see a leak. Must be burning oil? |

Engine began running rough at idle and died in the driveway when warming up. Would not start again. Tried gas treatment. Got it started and had the code read - random misfire, all cylinders. Changed all spark plugs. One was black, and one looked like the cylinder was running lean. Still a little rough at idle. Odd noises when turning off car (vacuum noise and a clunk). Tried changing out ignition coils, but it made no difference, so I put back the old ones. Finally, the engine light went out a week later, and it is running ok. Maybe spark plugs plus bad gas? |

Replaced all motor mounts and transmission mount, trying to stop vibration. Some mounts didn't look too bad when we pulled them out, but others had fallen apart. Replaced all since we had it apart anyway. |
