Does it sound normal to you? Honestly do you think that a car is supposed to act like that!

No what I'm saying is that a car is supposed to run & idle correctly. If it is not then you have a problem, it's pretty simple really. If the car is not starting regularly then there is a problem. Your car is around 20 some odd years old & it's apparent that it has some issues that need attention.
