Hey guys, my car is developing an issue that is very annoying. My car sat for about 6 months while I was deployed, but I think it was started a few times while I was gone. Once I replaced the battery it started right up, I filled her up with a fresh tank of gas(I stored it with Staybil) and changed the oil. Everything seemed fine for about a month, but just recently it has been acting weird. On a cold or warm start up, randomly in first gear about 1300 rpm, the engine seems to die for a 1/4 second or less and then jolt forward as if I just floored it. Electrical system stays on as far as I can tell, and it only does it in first gear. It is an '02 and has 81K on it, everything else seems to be fine. I did install the restrictor plate on the IAC, but that has been on for years and I never had this problem. I cleaned the MAF and the throttle body about a year ago, and only put on maybe 5k miles since then. This happens with the A/C on and off. Any ideas? Thanks!
