Hello everybody,
Stumbled across this site and thought I would ask a question, which is: My EF Futura seems to stumble and almost stall when I put it into drive, and also when I pull up it seems to stumble a bit but then idles alright after a few seconds, its kinda like a very rough vibrating idle kind of stumble, if that makes sense, everything else seems alright, performance and fuel economy seem normal, and I keep it serviced regularly (most of the time anyway!)any help greatly appreciated!
