Description of the problem | Vehicle will fail to accelerate at certain times from a complete stop on a city street. Rpm can go as high as 4000 rpm's and the vehicle will not respond adequately, meaning i have been at an intersection and when making the turn,the vehicle may or may not respond to the acceleration i have given it. I have been stopped at a red light wanting to accelerate forward on the green light and again the vehicle may or may not respond adequately even when the engine gets to 4000 rpm's. Afraid i will blow an engine i decelerate with the vehicle only creeping forward at 3-5 mph even with those high rpm's. I have to pump the gas pedal a few times before the transmission engages. Once engaged the transmission is slow to accelerate, but eventually responds respectfully to the rpm's. The lack of acceleration or transmission response is very unsafe when it places the driver & passengers in a precarious position. |
