My Mystique with 76K miles has the same problem.

I have yet to find a solution.

I do, however, have a question.

Won't significant engine misfiring result in a CEL?

To me, this eliminates the ignition system as the source of the problem.

Early flooding problems with the car seven years ago and subsequent misfires would always trigger a CEL. The light would clear by itself after a day or two.

Comments?
