OK, since you don't have a tachometer, can you tell me if this was all the time you had this car, or it just started recently?

It just started recently. And I just had it tuned a month agoand it was fine after that and just started doing this in the past week.

It seems to become more complex than I though at the beginning.

No idea at the moment, sorry. May be somebody else will chime in. If I get something bright, I'll post.

What exactly car do you have? Do you know your engine model? Is it VTEC?
