Vague posts end up with jackasses spouting "throw this at it" or "throw that at it" " a friend of a friend's car had a somewhat similar issue in that caused it". You NEED to be specific. Diagnosing cars over the internet is almost impossible, I have no clue why that idea is so hard to grasp for a lot of folks...
I'll keep these things in mind for the future. Thanks for the info.
