That makes it nearly impossible to test anything.

Hi there, I would have some basic maintenence done on the vehicle, ie changed the fuel filter, add some fuel injector cleaner into a couple of tanks of gas, and use a code scanner to check for trouble codes. These code scanners can be purchased at your local auto parts dealer for as little as $15.00. Another possiblity is a vaccum leak. Hope this helps, if so please select accept.

Unless you get the opportunity to do some testing, your just going to throw money at it with no results.

Nobody wants that.
