OK, the Catera sounds like trouble, and I had just bought one. Runs like brand new with 51000 miles. Every so often, maybe once a day or once a week, it throws a fit.... a low rough idle and stalls when you slow down. I THINK IT IS A VACUUM LEAK. Can't find it.. Does anyone know in what fashion do you check for leaks? Vacuum gage look for drop? Spray soapy water maybe? You can email answers to jandjtoday@aol.com

Nope! Sorry, I don't know anything about the vacuum but have you changed your fuel filter lately?

Different problem,

I have 1998 and It sometimes won't let me move the gear stick (stuck in park) and before anyone ask. Yes, I did apply pressure to the brakes first.

If I let it sit awhile or beat on the gear stick it usually starts functioning again; it's getting worse though.
