acceleration

Wow! Bought 2020 XLT on 6/24/20 and 24 hours later I'm returning it for service, 114 miles old. Car lost all acceleration simply going down the street. RPMs would rev up when pressing gas pedal, but SUV wouldn't respond. Had to stop in middle of highway, put in park, then re-engage...

Hello All, I apologize for the long post but want to give as much info as possible. Ive searched the forums, reddit and facebook for this issue and cant seem to find a solid answer, but see many have had this problem. I am not a mechanic but do work on general maintenance for all of my cars. I...

Hi all, New here and far from a car expert but have been digging around a ton through the posts and haven't seen this issue. I'd love all your input/guidance please! I have a new 2018 Sport that just crossed 2,000 miles. All stock everything. Overall I love it but unless I'm crazy (and I...

Hi Friends, I'm brand new to this forum and to doing any significant maintenance myself. Please forgive my ignorance if it jumps up in the middle of a nice dinner and parades around the room yelling obscenities. I started having power issues driving old faithful across the west. Occasionally I...

I'm having an issue where when pressing on the accelerator I get a bump that can be felt through the entire vehicle, it's been doing it for a while and can't remember when it started. It also does the same whenever letting off the gas, seems like the whole car jumps almost, it's not severe, but...

Ok. My issue is not new. I already searched around on the forum and found a few people discussing this but no posted updates or "SOLVED" threads. I have a 2006 AWD. I have a vibration on acceleration (in pedal/front end). If you let-off and step into it again it goes away. Note also.. I do...

I have a 2003 Explorer, with the 4.6 V8. When driving a steady pace, all is well. But when I get on it to pass someone, or put the truck in passing gear, and then I come to a complete stop at a light or whatnot, the truck's RPM's get so low that the truck shakes pretty hard for a few seconds...

History: Mother bought new in 1994, tons of city driving TONS!! Very very seldom revved above 3800 RPM. Very rare for throttle to be applied past 70%. Mom went to trade it in they refused it. (She smoked :smoke: in it like CRAZY!!!) Never :nono: cleaned it yuk. Now its as good as new except...

Hi, my name's Allan, I live in the Raleigh, NC area and just bought a 93 Mazda Navajo. For the most part it seems to be in decent working order. There are a few small things I've noticed that I'll be looking into on here, other sites and my manual that I ordered. I'll be posting this AND...

I recently bought a 5.0 1997 ford explorer Eddie bauer and I have a problem. When accelerating in 4th gear from 1300 to 1500 rpm the truck hesitates and feels like the engine is sputtering. It usually happens from slightly increasing speed. I would like to know what any experts would have to say...

A few days ago I started getting a squealing noise coming from under the hood whenever I accelerated on my way to work. Later that day I looked at the belt but it appears fine, no cracks and all of the grooves are still there. I noticed some dry mud on one of the pulleys. I cleaned it off and...

Under light acceleration, the vehicle will surge forward. Basically feels like it's getting sudden extra fuel delivery, but not constant as it really tends to "jump" multiple times. Once up to speed, no problems. Accelerate hard and no problems, but if you are just trying to baby it through a...

My brake light blinks on and off real quick one time during acceleration when the truck has just been started?? I do have a sound coming from my drivers side. Sounds like a wheel bearing but I replaced that a yr. and a half ago?

in the quest for more power the question is always turbos or superchargers. A friend of mine has done some research and was able to build a "kit" to do a twin turbo installation to my 4.0. we have also found superchargers that we could get to fit (i dont remember brands off hand so please dont...

Hey everyone, I was test driving a 2003 Eddie Bauer with the V8 4.6L engine. There is only 76K miles on the odometer and seems to be in relatively decent condition. However, when I went to accelerate from a dead stop it seemed to rise pretty slow. Im not sure if this is a sign of tranny...
