Why does my car chug?

Sounds like a problem with the ignition leads and or coil. Could be spark plugs.

Probably not been serviced for a while.

Only a proper physical looking at will sort it.

Not sure what planet "jim" is on but it sounds like a classic case of the coil pack breaking down or as Timbo says duff plug/lead. Cars DO start with faulty coil packs. "jim" must work on old cars with a single coil modern cars.

hi Emma changing the plugs is high quality, yet you in addition to might might desire to make advantageous the extreme rigidity leads from the plugs to the Distributor are no longer in basic terms sparkling yet tight, and , you are able to desire to take off the distrbutor cap and examine the rotor arm for isn't burnt or pitted, and likewise the the 4 submit interior the cap are no longer burnt, its elementary to alter those, and could make a huge distinction. and sparkling around the coil besides, yet be careful to no longer dislodge any wires sturdy success

It sounds like your car is just old and it should be handle with care. If you haven't had it serviced since you got it, take it in soon. Preventative Maintenance is the best way to go.

Do you get it serviced? People ride drive cars without servicing and expect them to run forever.
