Car starts but engine vibrates, when accelerates, car vibrates more ,sounds like a miss, in drive,car creeps.
But i did not take it out. also car has automatic transmission.
Asked by JohAnswer
See if there are any hard or soft codes. Is there any smoke from the tailpipe? Black soot is carbon buildup, usually either too much fuel or oil. Does it lose oil? Disconnect the oxygen sensor and see if any difference is made. Next, disconnect the mixture control solenoid (on the carburetor) and see if it makes any difference.
no codes , its a suzuki side kick, 1990, have injectors,already disconnected oxygen sensor, still behaves the same way,vacuum test is normal at 22 and steady,took out air filter, idles ok for now ,but when i press the accelerator ,no power ,put it in drive ,it creeps.
Throttle cable connected? Throttle butterfly opening?
Does the engine accelerate but there's no transfer of power to the wheels? Or will the engine not accelerate?
Yes cable is connected, butterfly open all the way,there is transfer of power to the wheels,but when i press on the gas pedal no power, just creeps.
Does the engine rev up? If so, the transmission is most likely slipping. Check the fluid level and condition. You want it red and not smelling like it's burned.
If not, you might have a plugged catalytic converter. Install a straight pipe in place of the converter and drive it. Power back? replace the cat.
Joh, did you get this transmission issue fixed? Do we need to keep looking into diagnostics?
