Hello everyone,
I'm having a problem with my 05 grand prix gt randomly sputtering... On occasion, when I start to accelerate...the car will sputter, needing to go to an abnormal rpm to shift. And then when i try to floor it, it takes a second or two before it takes off and goes. Even when it does pick up, it feels like im pulling something (a feeling like something is holding the car back).
To fix this, I would have to pull over, turn the car off and turn it back on again. Once I did this, it was fine...shift normally, no high rpm. This is starting to happen a lot more frequent now and it's driving me insane. I can't enjoy my grand prix anymore.
It has always done this but not one mechanic can tell me what's wrong with it. (bought salvaged at 57,000 miles) Now after 3 years (99,000 miles) , it's happening a lot more and it really is driving me to the point where I do not want the car anymore. Along with other issues which i will create other posts for. Can anybody tell me what you think or if this is happening to you? I mean...when you shut the car off and on again, it goes away...and usually by the the time i turn it on, I know if it is going to sputter or not by the way it idols.(it will have a heavy idol). I'm thinking something electronic but im just not a mechanic to begin to make assumptions.
Someone help, I would hate to get rid of my car...I love it when it runs fine : (
