Car Possessed?
Wednesday, March 02, 2005 2:56 PM
Ok... sometimes when stepping on the gas... the car just takes off like it's stupposed to.

Also sometimes... it's incredibly sluggish...

I changed my fuel filter late last year... spark plugs about a year and a half ago... not due for an oil change for another 1,500 miles... ran seafoam right before the bash last year... and NO CEL.

1995 Sunfire GT 2.3

Any ideas??

Ya this happens to mine too, and it pisses me off, I have replaced like everything, the only thing left is to replace the fuel filter, I hope thats whats causing this, I have also run fuel injector cleaner and all sorts of other s*** too. Nothing seems to do anything, and I am kinda wondering because I dont think I should have to replace my fuel filter already cuz it was replaced about 35,000 km ago.

just curious where is the TPS on a 99 2.2 and how do you adjust it?

Spray a carb cleaner on the throttle body? I did and my idle and performance got much better...

I was told it's probably the beginning stages of my fuel pump going out...

I used Seafoam and it cleaned it out good... but it's still not running good...

I'm gonna call the mechanic tomorrow and see how much it'll be to figure out what it is...
