I've experienced the same thing with my 2000 Echo, my check engine light wld come on and go off, come on and go off, I went to auto zone and they said the error code (dont remember code) indicated it was the oxygen sensor, I also took it to a mechanic and he said it appears I have a hole in my intake manifold....so basically if I dont let my car warm up in the morning, i'll drive and when I got to accerlate (car still running) it wont move I guess it's what one would calls stalls, but when I take my foot of the gas it will kind inch forward, and sometimes I just pump the gas or shift to 2nd to make it jolt out of doing what is does.
I dont have the $$$ to fix the car so the problem has gotten worse(i do however alone to car to warmup) but say I going down the highway when I get to 75 it starts to drop speed and seems to get stuck, so I do 80 now and if I let the speed go down, my car starts to act funny and it takes me longer or the car I shld say to stop stalling and dragging about.
I aslo got a free diagnostic at a transmission shop and they said it was my engine.
Any ideas and anyone with a digi cam, can u show me what and where the intake, and intake manifold is under the hood.
