My 2000 seems to hesitate and stumble when the engine is cold, it feels like the engine power gets cut suddenly but it does it with or without the traction control turned on and whether the sport button is pressed or not. This seems to improve if I let it idle for a couple of minutes before starting to drive. Within the last couple of weeks, these symptoms have started to ocurr randomly when the car is fully warmed up also. Earlier this week the SES light ignited, I read the error code which indicated a lean condition on bank 2. Yesterday on the way home I slowed down for a tollbooth and when I tried to accelerate again the engine wouldn't rev any higher than 3000 rpm, the car felt like the rev limiter had been reduced to 3000 rpm and it was very low on power. I pulled off the highway, shut down the engine and re-started it and everything was back to normal again.
I cleaned the MAFS a couple of months ago which made no discernable difference. I do have an appointment at the dealer on Monday (my car is CPO'd) but was wondering if anyone else had similar symptoms and if so what was the cure? I am sort of thinking MAFS, especially given the lean condition error code.
TIA
