When you have a over 100,000 miles on an engine, you start having these
sorts of problems. In some cases, a complete tune-up will solve the
problem. This should involve changing the plugs and adjusting the valves.
I suggest that you have this work done by a mechanic that you trust. He or
she will hook it up to a diagnostic computerized engine tester. If there
are any problems, the mechanic should be able to find them. If you still
have these problems after the tune-up, I suggest that you try high octane
gas--most stations now have two types of high octane gas. Try both of
them. I almost forgot to mention that you should have the mechanic perform
a compression check.
