Sounds like the Transmission Fluid is low. You probably have a leak. You should top off the fluid and fix the gasket or where-ever the leak is coming from.
I had this problem once when I had my first car about 20 years ago. Back then, I didn't know how cars worked. It started with small jerks - or acceleration delays when I would press the gas pedal in drive. I didn't know what it was. Day by day, the delays got longer. The car would still drive because the heat of operation would make the fluid expand enough to turn the torque converter. But eventually, it all leaked out and my torque converter burnt out.
I got in the car one fine day, put it in drive and went no-where. The pity was that a guy wanted to buy it for $350. And if it would have worked, I would have almost doubled my money.
It wasn't a huge loss because I bought the car for $175 and had it for 6 months- but it taught me a lesson- learn how cars work, or things like this will happen.
Hey ya i have a 1994 grand am and i was having this same problem. What i did what replace the spark plugs. After i did this i took the car and and when i floor it no longer stutters when accelerating.
Problem: 1982 mercury Solution: take to junk yard
If this is a general noise, it could be the transaxle. When you are accelerating, the engine is pushing the gears, and when you let go of the pedal, the vehicle starts to shift back down. If this is an engine noise, it could be predetonation or a valve problem.
accelerating
It is very likely you have something wrong with your engine.
Yes. It starts at zero- and when fired, begins to accelerate until it reaches it's greatest speed- usually before getting to the muzzle of the gun.
If nobody pushed it, then it had to be either gravity or the wind.
It sounds like your 2000 Dodge Intrepid RT may have an issue with the ignition switch, starter, or possibly the fuel system. The need to hold the key in the start position and repeatedly turn it on and off could indicate a weak connection or a failing starter motor. Additionally, a problem with the fuel pump or relay could lead to intermittent starting issues. It’s advisable to have a professional mechanic diagnose the problem to pinpoint the exact cause.
Oh I had this problem in a 97 Intrepid and it turned out to be the crank sensor located on the bell housing. Fix it quick...soon the car will stall for no reason...sometimes it starts right back up...sometimes it doesn't!
Scanner,is the only means to re-set trouble codes quickly, although after 30 engine starts the Controller will automaticly "erase"the code(s) if it doesn't see a problem with that circuit anymore...
You need to check the throttle positioning sensor.
time to get a watch! :)
