Rusty Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 The best way I can describe this, is after a quick high speed acceleration when passing- around 95-100MPH, when I let off the gas pedal, instead of a smooth coasting -down, I feel a sort of abrupt stumble or lugging effect. Also when suddenly accelerating from 2K RPM, or around 25-30 MPH it very briefly hesitates , then a slight slamming sensation occurs. Almost like there's some backlash. There's also noticeable feeling when the cruise control is switched off while at higer speed. Otherwise, gradual acceleration / deceleration seems fine. Anybody have an idea what's causing this ? Could it be a sign of future tranny problems ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAUL T Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Any diagnostic codes? Check tranny fluid, see if it is nice and red or have a burnt smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growe3 Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Sounds like a fuel delivery problem. You need to check the fuel pressure, should be around 45 lbs at idle and increase a bit with quick throttle jabs. Could also be the Throttle Position Switch. Reset as per the manual. or go here Idle Learn Procedure -George Drive'em like you own 'em. - ....................04 DTS............................
