Hello,

2001 SE 221K miles.

I have been having this issue on and off all year. When I’m in high gear (full load) and I accelerate I get a “miss” or a “jerk”.
4 months ago I replaced my ignition module, coils, plugs as wires and the problem went away.

It’s back again. No codes.

However today ...

Sounds like alternator.

I had the exact same scenario last week. My fuse was OK, however going through a ton of water cooked my alternator.

My car exhibited that exact same conditions you describe regarding the gauge.

Mine started do the exact same thing today after I ran through 4 inches of rain water.

I always have issues with the air fittings.

It's probably just me.

I'll order the air shocks.

Thanks

Hello,

I need new rear shocks, however I don't want air shocks.

Is there a direct replacement to eliminate air?

If so, do I need to disconnect air pump?

Thanks

It was my plug wires!

Or my MAF...I cleaned it to.

Thanks for your help as always....

Regarding dirty MAF......I assume there is a special cleaner for this.

Can I spray it on the vehicle or do I need to remove it?

Thanks

So yes..it's bucking and the RPM's are erratic.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks

I guess more like bucking.....

Hello,

2001 Bonneville SE.

At 112K miles I had the trans rebuilt.

I'm at 214K miles now and I feel it slipping when I'm in high gear when I want to accelerate.

Nothing from a standstill.....only in high when, for example entering freeway...cruise set and creeping up a hill etc.

I just put 3 ...

Does anyone have the part number for the Mode Actuator?

Back on the road again.

They found:

-Cracked flex plate
-Destroyed front motor mount
-Leaking oil pressure switch

Anyway, thanks for all your input on this old car.

I've had this happen and as simple as it sounds, I had a bad spark plug wire.

Indeed. If you have the ability (skills, equipment, and place to do it) maintaining your old car is money in you pocket compared to a payment or a $35k+ replacement. So was the flex plate itself $800, :eek2: , or was that parts & labor?


Flex plate is only like $35. Labor is 750.

I'm going to ...

Finally finished the brake line yesterday. Lots of rust....bending....flaring...tightening.....bleeding...freezing...swearing.

At the end of the day, I have brakes again (oh yeah, had to replace battery after 10 years).

Now off to the trans shop to fix the cracked flex plate.

My buddy in the ...

I agree. I'm in MI.

It's just weird.

The steel line going from the driver rear over to the passenger rear.

Hello-

Asking for opinions.

I dropped my 2001 off at local shop to get a quote on cracked flexplate. When I dropped it off the brakes were perfect!

After I got the quote for the flexplate that gave me a heart attack I told the guy thanks but no thanks.

I went to pick the car up that night. I ...
