2003 wagon, auto, 178k mi. original suspension.
Two symptoms, possibly related...first is a slight revving of the engine during normal cruising speeds, @100-200pm. Not constant, but getting more frequent, about every 40-60 seconds the engine will rev up suddenly with no increase in road speed. Not noticed at highway speeds( 65-75mph), mostly 40-60mph. Annoying, but not as troubling as the next problem.
Second symptom is a moderate shutter felt through the pedals and wheel. Feels like a going over a rumble strip, but without the tire noise. This has just started showing up in the last week, I can make this go away by giving the engine some throttle and it will downshift and accelerate normally. Then the shutter will disappear. I need this car to commute to work, am I screwing it up by driving until payday? Any ideas?
