Seems to be a common issue with these cars. Suggest you start with plugs, boots, coils, throttle position sensor in that order!

i suggest you find out what the dsc light is on for. then take it from there. is your car an automatic?

[jb6983]

yes it is automatic.ive been reading that if the asc-t light stays on that there is a problem and that it will make the engine lose power as that is what the asc-t is supposed to do when needed,just not all the time..im not sure..

Probably a wheel speed sensor.

Turn off or disable the ASC and see if the problem continues.

To disable it disconnect the connector on #8 here:

Yours is probably OBD-I so you may have to go to the dealer for diagnose which speed sensor or pull them all and clean them.
