Solve my problem & win nothing
While cruising along at any speed, any throttle position, any gear, my car has random, violent hesitations as if something is locking up for a split second. This usually happens after the car is warmed up. I don't think it's a tranny issue, it's been doing this since I first bought it (before the 5mt). It doesn't feel like a misfire like plugs or anything.. more like hitting a deer or something.

My guess would be the MAF. But I'm only guessing.

I'd second the MAF... but it might also be a tranny temp thing. Hook up a gauge and see for sure.

Im guessing maby a fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, IC Igniter, crank or cam position sensor, or temp sensor. There could also be some corrosion in one of the main engine harnesses. Just a shot in the dark, without being able to see the problem.

I've replaced the maf sensor twice, and I have a 5mt. Could it be the differential binding up? The front diff on my auto shattered, maybe something is causing them to do so? What can I check?

When this happens, Does it sound like the engine cuts out or just bogs down under the strain of what is happening?? |
