OK heres the deal...
I was driving my car home going about 70 when I gun it to pass someone and about a minute after i do that the car starts to run rough like I'm running on 3 cylinders... I get home, and since it started raining later that night and thru the weekend, I let her sit 2 days... when I started her back up she ran fine.
3 days later I go to pass someone and same thing happens again, this time I let it sit then try to start it the next day... its still running rough, now after another day of sitting and after i finally have the time I take out the plugs and everythings looks fine.
When I went to start it after I checked the plugs, it ran rough for 2 seconds and died... I pumped the pedal a couple times to keep it running then after i let off it ran, but still poorly.
Now the cap and rotor were replaced 2 years ago, the plug wires are 1 1/2 years old genuine nissan parts and they look good.
Any Ideas? I'm trying to see what i can do without having to take her to the dealer
