Acceleration Problem...... maybe vaccum?

bcinyuz · 07-06-2001, 08:11 AM

I'M HAVING A PROBLEM WITH DRIVABILITY, AND IT'S CAUSED BY A KIND OF BUCK, OR ONE MIGHT SAY STUMBLE WHEN I TAKE OFF FROM A DEAD STOP WITH LITTLE THROTLE PRESSURE. I KNOW MY CAR WELL ENOUGH TO CHECK THE USUAL THINGS, BUT THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY. IF YOU CAN GIVE ME SOME ADVICE ON THIS, I'D APPRECIATE IT A LOT. (THANKS IN ADVACE)

Have you done a tune-up?If not try that.Be sure to change the fuel filter.I had the same problem for a while.

My car is doing something similar right now...have you found out what your problem is. I'm going to try spraying wd40 where I think I have a vacuum leak tonight to check if the idle changes...

My friend was having the same trouble, it was the mass air. He was not having check engine light.
