Hi,

I've just noticed today, as the weather starts getting around freezing, that coming off from the lights, my '03 Expy has started shuddering a little as it switches up the gears.

Almost like it's losing power very slightly then bumping back. Not sure what it could be, misfire, or something? It hasn't thrown a light yet, and it's got new plugs, oil isn't that old, etc. I know some of the coil packs are a little old, could one be failing?

It's not major, still driving fine, I just noticed it as I came off the interstate and onto local roads where I was cruising less. Happily cruising along at 50, but when accelerating slowly, or crawling at 30 or so it's best described as gentle shuddering. Almost like a stick shift before it stalls. WIth winter coming up I don't want to fix all potential issues now.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Alex

Got a CEL this morning - P0302. Changed the #2 coil and all seems to be good.
