1994 Max

Symptoms:
Idle: car seems to lose power, the lights on the dark, get dim. Car makes this popping/grinding noise while the entire car jerks forward and backward. Almost like when you stall out driving a stick shift.

In Motion:
I haven?t noticed this to a speed specific problem, it happens when I?m going 35mph or 75mph. The car seems to be struggling to pull forward. So I pump the gas and hope to God that I don?t stall on the interstate.

Replacements:
Battery, spark plugs, distributor, regular oil changes, fuel line. I?ve check out all fluid, are tapped out.

Saga:
I love my car, but lately it?s been rather moody.
About a year ago, my car started to stalling, sporadically. So, as a good car owner, I took it in, and the mechanic couldn?t find anything wrong with it, it was running fine. So I took it to another mechanic, he said it was the EGI need to be replaced, not fully confident in this mechanic, I took it to another, they said the EGI checked out fine and that it was the distributor, but he wasn?t 100% sure.

Well, my car stopped stalling, and was working fine, so I continued to drive it. 6months later it started stalling again, so I took it back in and was told it was the fuel line, so I had that replaced, problem not solved. So, I had the distributor replaced, and for awhile the car seemed better, but alas it is not the stalling has started again. Frustrated..

I have found that if I run the car over rain road tracks/ speed bumps, etc? the problem will disappear, or become more apparent.

The dimming lights suggests an electrical problem.  If I were you, I
would take my car to a shop that specializes in electrical systems.
Assuming, of course, that your lights still dim when engine idles
erratically.

My maxi was doing that i had taken it to a real mechanic it was that the spark plug were getting wet because the gasket was broken the maxima has 6 spark plugs so ou need to fix the gasket and replace all the spark plugs and make sure the cables are in place. My maxi no longer stalls.
