Guest Anonymous Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 My car has been acting up lately and we can't seem to find the problem. Here are the symptoms and if you have any suggestions please let me know. When you press the gas pedal sometimes you get a response and other times it does not recognize it, and then catches real fast after that surging it forward, then not recognizing the pedal again. This all started after we went in and replaced the clutch for the engine fan and in the process I left the key in the on position draining the battery. So we recharged the battery and took the car out, and this problem started happening at random times, sometimes it would run very good and others we weren't sure it would make it around the block. We went in a week ago and tested the alternator and battery, battery was fine but we had to replace alternator and after that the problem seems to be happening less, but still when it does happen it is obvious. We still don't know if the two issues are related at all. My dad's best bet is that the fuel injection system is shutting off intermittently, his next guess is that ignition is shutting off intermittently. We can't get the problem to happen while doing anything with the car at rest (while we are working on it in the garage). If you have any ideas or a good resource for info on how to diagnose this problem please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
