ok well as some of you know i own a 4g15 auto

i did a service about 1300K ago but it was only oil and the filter ( dont know if that helps )

but today just after i was doing 100 i got too a stop sign. i stopped for about 3 seconds and as i took off it felt like it was trying too stall as it was slowly chugging up too speed.

can i have some advice? my dad has said too check the spark plugs/air filter but im starting too think its my auto trans cause when i go over 3.5K on the rpm i hear a mettalic sound ( i've heart its a thrust bearing or something? )

need help asap!
 
i kno these things may sound stupid but atleast it eliminates them:

check your battery terminals ar connected and the wires are not frayed off
and if you have a voltmetre check its putting 12v
check your spark pluggs are not fouled
while your at it check oil level
check your stepper motor (if you know how to... i dont but anyways)

i had what sounds to be a similar problem, it ended up being that someone (while it was at the mechanic) had *fudge*ed around with the stepper motor screw so it got no air when it was on idle
sounds like the same symptoms my car had, but u would have likely noticed it after the choke was off and not later
 
yeh me and dad are gonna check the air filter and spark plugs tomorrow. if not we have too take it into a mechanic, problem is its all $$$$
 
it wont be your thrust bearing. I had same issues with mine before it did the conversion, pretty much i had lost of power and couldnt drive up hills.

But then again mine was a manual.
Like it has been said already, I would check your plugs and see where you go from there.
 
Ever replaced the fluid in the transmission?? If the fluid is old it may potentially give you problems....
