Last Friday, my Solara was acting up...whenever i would accelarate from a stop, the car would jerk as if it were a stick shift...it would even roll backwards on a hill. I noticed that my RPM's at idle were a bit lower than usual. I have an automatic and i didnt even have to step on the brake at a stop light to prevent the car from moving ahead. But now, it seems alright...the car is responding normally. I just want to know whether or not it is a potential problem. Thanks.

how many miles and any tune up's that have been avoided. My CEL came on at 65K miles and same symptoms as what you described. I took it to the dealership (extended warranty), i got my own plugs and ignitions wires and they did a EFI service and its been flawless. hence, i ask...how many miles??
