My daughters college beater is a 2003 Olds Alero with the 2.2 Ecotec 4 cylinder. She has been driving this car for 4 years and it has been a decent car. She is 150 miles from home and calls me with each and every issue. Two months ago she calls and tells me that when she stopped at a stop sign it started to run rough and the rpm jumped around a little. When she pulled away from the stop sign it was okay. Only happened the one time. Today I get a call that it did the same thing. Both times no check engine light so no code to scan. So I am trying to figure out what to do. Trying to trouble shoot an intermittent car problem remotely by talking to my non mechanical daughter is impossible. The no check engine light also has me puzzled. Would a bad fuel pump throw an engine error code? I really have three options. Do nothing and hope it never gets worse. Throw parts at it. Take it to a repair shop and have them throw parts at it 4 times the cost of doing it myself. What are your top thoughts on the problem? Even if I throw parts at it I won't know if I actually accomplished anything. The intermittent frequency with months between will make trouble shooting just about impossible. The car being 150 miles from my workshop also adds to the challenge. Thanks for the help.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
