Whats up guys and gals... i have a question that iv been pondering for a while now... if the trans starts to go... does the car get sluggish as well? cuz i have been noticing that my car (auto) is sluggish upon acceleration.. i have a complete tune up... new knock sensor... no codes.. etc.. the motor is in great shape (94k) doesnt burn oil or anyting but still the car doesnt feel as fast as i should be... could the trans be the problem? could it be slowing the car down...the trans doesnt feel very responsive all the time either...?

 

yes sometimes it jumps into gear thant when you know its a problem also check the throttle position sensor it determines the fuel delivery might be out of sing may need adjustment

 

Have long has it been since you changed your tranny fluid? Go synth if you havn't already. O2 sensors are known to go out with no code so you might want to check those out, good idea to just replace them at about 100k.

 

If you havent noticed, our cars have this very annoying lag with the auto transmission at low speeds. If you do a california roll at a stop sign, you will notice the transmission stays in 2nd gear and doesnt downshift unless you mash the gas.

 

Have you ever had a complete fuel system cleaning, including the intake components? That usually brings back nice throttle response in Auto's. If you have an aftermarket intake on your car, go back to stock with a clean air filter and take your car for a ride again. You'll be amazed at the huge differance in throttle response your Auto will gain BACK!

 

i had problems with auto/weapon R intake, wouldnt start by its self always needed gas, did throttle cleaning and now she runs like the boss
