I thought my issues were over, but they arent...
This used to happen only occasionally before I cleaned the AFM and got it to stop running rough. This is what happens. For the most part i can accelerate properly. But while Im driving usually after letting off the gas, it will buck and jerk...at night I can see the "brake lining" light doing a few things while its happening. When it bucks hard the light fully illuminates..Sometimes the light is very faint. but i can feel the strain. Almost like im pressing the brakes. I know when its doing that during the day because the MPG gauge is either a little off that normal, or sometimes its at like 5 when Im not accelerating.
For the most part is flashes sometimes...every so often the light will stay solid and when accelerating with will buck and jerk.
My other issue is that sometimes the car wont accelerate. I know when its happening when the fuel pump sounds funny...it normally has a constant whirr sound...but when it acts up it sounds like its straining and gets a little more high pitched. A couple weeks ago when it did this it died on me. It also died today and havent been able to get it cranked again.
What normally happens when i turn the key two clicks, the pump turns for about a sec(buzz sound) and turns off. But when it dies, it turns on and stays on(whirr sound). and it sounds as if its running, and when it does not turn off immediately it never cranks back up like it should. When it does it when you try to crank it doesnt do anything at all. I think the brake and lining light flicks when you go between start and acc, but thats it. When it did it to me a couple weeks ago I ended up not letting it go all the way back to the acc and just kept bumping it and it eventually cranked. Well the same thing happened to me today and it wont start at all. I tried changing the battery but it didnt help.
Also I think my ALT is bad, could that be causing any of these problems?
