What's wrong with my auto???
 

I have 97 se Automatic. Here is the issue: When I am driving and come to a complete stop in Drive, then get ready to take off by taking my foot off the brake, the car just sits there like it's in neutral! All other auto's that I have driven automtically roll when the foot is off the brake. This problem has been getting progressively worse to a point where it now just sits there intill I give it gas.

My idle is fine (600 rpm) and not rough.
I have a JWT inatake and exhaust.
I've cleaned my throttle body.
Tightened my throttle body cable.

Any suggestions, ideas????

i think the title said it all :D

ayite, kick me while i'm already down.

ANYWAY, wtf is wrong with my AUTO, not what wrong with an Auto. :)

I had the same problem a few months back with my car. Does the car jerk really hard when you give it gas adn knock into the gears? Fortunitly for me my car was under warranty so they gave me a new tranny even though the car had mods....but they should have because it had under 20k on it.

What up!!
No man, it doesn't jerk...the tranny is smooth so far. But it just sits there and doesn't 'idle roll' what is typical of automatics..wtf??

you suck :D

then just call me AUTO :)

It's not a manual.

[Edit]Dangit Sprite! You beat me to it![/Edit]

Seriously though, it sounds like either your TC's messed up or your tranny's slipping (i.e.- Time for Don's VB mod!).

Gosh, I hope not!

But I know when it's slipping though and it's not. The car pulls smoothly and shifts smoothly, no jerks or slipage.

The problem is, when the car is in D, and no pressure is applied to the brake OR accelerator, it just sits there and maybe it'll slowly move, but most of the time it doesn't.

However, I the minute I get on the gas, it picks up and goes, spins the tires if I needed.

It's just getting annoying in traffic. Even 5-speeds roll if you let off the clutch slowly and don't touch the brake or accelerator.

:gotme:

now i am all confused about your sig :confused:

No manual tranny means I don't care. LordRandall started it in the thread about the new Grand Prix. I need to add to it anyway.

Re: Re: Re: What's wrong with my auto???
 

yeah thats why i am confused..

your sig says you don't care.. but your comment says you do :D

Re: Re: Re: What's wrong with my auto???
 

When you cleaned your TB, did you adjust your idle?? Maybe it went to low.

I hope you know the letters of the alphabet 'cause it's looking like I'm gonna have to spell this out for you...

The Grand Prix wasn't offered with a manual, therefore I wouldn't be interested in buying one. If I get a car that I may want to drive enthusiastically, I don't want my left foot and right arm to miss out on any of the fun. Re-read my now-altered sig.

Slammed95 is probably right, but before you do that check your ATF level. You also might check to make sure that your brakes aren't dragging.

thats the same crap that happens with my civic, but i believe i dont have the "idle roll" because my car has NO hp and tq, i have never been in a v6 that didn't have idle roll, somethings wrong, but i dont think it can be that huge of a problem.

E-brake might be sticking.

dwapenyi - I didn't mess with the idle, but I'll check to make sure I didn't by mistake

Badaxxima - thanks for keeping my thread at the top :rolleyes: :)

slammed95 - I think you are on to something! I'll try to keep adjusting it to see what happens. btw, where is the idle screw?


sinewave - Thanks, I'll check that asap..

slick- :laugh:

Ghey "Lightning in a bottle" image
 

Did you put that image on your ****? 'Cause you're really wearing it out. j/k C'mon, you know what I mean. If there's no manual tranny, I don't care for it. :)

Hahaha,

Yeah when I had my 4 banger accord that thing didn't creep for sh!t at idle. NO HP NO TORQUE= HONDA
