I have had my car n the shop off and on for 4 mos. Spend well over 1500 (mostly in labor) trying to fix the problem.
When I accelerate around 30-35,my car "sputters" jumps around,like its going to die. I have had everything to do with the EGR valve replaced every sensor replaced.
error code shows its still in the egr valve.
when i take it to the shop they some how get it to where the engine light is off until i leave the lot with it! They say my car is running in LIMP MODE? deffinatly feels that way,if i step into it its fine,but just goin around town it sucks big time!
My son replaced the upper intake gakets for me BEFORE i started having this issue, he broke off 2 bolts in the intake,i was told that it is not sucking air.
Personally i think that needs to be fixed the last time i had it in the shop i told them to re-do the gaskets my son had replaced and fix the bolts he broke off well 250 bucks later they didnt do what i asked
and they told me that it had to be my cats blocked up,and that i needed to get an aftermarket exhaust. so......
I took the car to a local muffler shop to see what they thought and they said get a new mechanic!(I will) but now i dont know who to believe or if i want to put any more $ in the car!
the muffler shop says the cats are not blocked.....and i feel like the mechanic just didnt know what was wrong with it!
any ideas??? Just wondering if anyone else has had this type of problem.......Im not sure what to do, i have 110K well cared for miles on my automatic 3.8v6
