I was driving about 50-60mph and each time i let off the gas the car started to buck back and forth until it got around 40 or i went back on the gas. Does not happen to the car at lower speeds, never tried to go faster to see if it does up there. Just got me a lil unnerved lol. - Is it to do w/ the Rear-end? Transmission? i got no clue lol, is it possibly normal? haha idk >_< |

Does it do anything else or make any other sounds? Does the engine sound the same as it used to? Or did it change slightly? Check engine light come on? |

sounds are the same, theres a constant faint ticking but i was told it was just the lifters. Check Engine light is always on because the P.O hollowed out the cat converter. |

Have you done or know when the last tuneup was done on the car? Plugs/wires/fuel filter/cap/rotor/pcv/etc. |

Does this happen only after u reach overdrive? Could be ur TCC ..but then again I'm an idiot..what do I know.... Could also be an intake gasket..cause once u let off the gas the pistons are drawing more air into the chambers which causes more vacuum..and if u have a bad intake gasket it would make it more prevailant..remember 2 things though...1) it can also be other things 2) I'm still an idiot Edited by klowny, Jun 29 2010, 08:51 PM.

lol i'm the idiot not you >.>... - as for when i reach overdrive, dno i don't shift myself i jus keep it in drive. and If it were the intake gasket wouldn't it happen everytime i let off the gas? this seems to only happen around 50-60mph and randomly when it does infact happen. - I know nothing about the mechanics. |
