hi all, my first post on these forums, most certainly wont be my last, so my Gf's 2001 buick century that has 66k miles Recently became Very sluggish and wouldnt really drive good AT ALL, she got this car from her mother with 55k miles, ran okay when she got it and just got worse and worse....
this week i have changed the fuel filter, I Seafoamed the engine, Smoked out the neighborhood then changed the oil.. It has stopped coughing when i punch the gas, But say i punch it at the top of 2nd, it WILL NOT change into 3rd until i let off the gas and it makes a knocking sound, Due to Valve Float?? and it also makes a sound like if the TQ is going out, when going uphill it has Torque Shudder, and around 60mph when it downshifts it has a light torque shudder sound but not any shake, i havent dealt with A/Ts for some time.
When taking off, if i slowly press the gas it will bog down and wont move until i reset the accelerator position, sometimes it will work through this bog and GRIP n RIP and Goo.
IT is not throwing ANY Check Engine light or nothing, just runs hella sluggish but doesnt cough like before the new fuel filter, id like to able to fix this problem ASAP and i HOPE i dont have to cchange the TQ,
In a 1991 Lesabre i had, i had the same bog issue, turned out to be the Ignition Module, this may be a different problem same symptoms tho
