Hello and thanks in advance.
My Mirage '99 is acting weird. Whenever I stop (for example, after a red light) the car, it takes a long time to accelerate, and it sort of "bumps" as it's doing it, and sometimes it turns off right when I start accelerating from a stop sign. Once it picks up speed, it does not turn off but it seems to be limited as to the speed it can attain, for example, cannot go over 60 m/hr on the freeway, but at least it does not turn off in the freeway. Once I stop again, the same problem arises. As a sidenote, I just changed the battery yesterday as it was not turning on, but I don't think that's the problem since I had the battery checked and it was completely dead, so I had to buy another one. I am not sure whether this had anything to do with the car doing this now, but I don't think so. Any tips? Help? What could this be? I really appreciate your help!

Check engine light on? If so, you should have the ECU scanned for trouble codes and then post the numbers in here for further information.

Take out the air filter.
Change the fuel filter.
Check for Vacuum leaks....look at all the little black hoses....

Unbolt the exhaust at the first possible joint/connection in front of the Catalytic converter (between engine and the CAT).......TEST Drive.......2 Miles.
