intermittant skipping

Not completely.  However, it is drivable and the more it is driven the better it seems to get.  I’m going to run a couple of tanks through it with Seafoam a Heet in it and see if that clears it up.  I’m hoping that it is a lot of contaminated fuel that will eventually clear out.

I hope that is the case. Although not the same problem, I can notice a very slight misfire at low RPM coast. Only one throttle position. Anyone else I let drive the car can't notice it. Perhaps I'm OCD.

Anyway, after about 15-20 minutes after the temp gauge reaches the middle, it goes away completely.

I took it on a 3AM drive this morning for an hour before work, and shifted at no less than 3K RPM, so it was at around just over 2K RPM when the clutch engaged. I wanted to just call into work and keep driving.

Problem is, traffic flow. It wants to be driven like I as able to drive it this morning. Not coasting 10 MPH slower than the speed limit behind a skiddish brake rider driving a Prius.

A lot of people much more knowledgeable than I say their cars run better after freeway/spirited drives.
