Default Well this is new....

I've noticed on the past 2 gas tanks, the car has been having problem from time to time. It doesn't happen all the time though. I notice that when I give it a little gas when cruising around 40, it will drop in RPMs and the car rocks foward until i let off. Its like its when its almost gonna shift does this happen. Almost feels like it gets flooded or something. I dunno, its hard to explain.

My tranny isn't having problems, is it?

I just checked my trans fluid and its black. Yes, black! I just had it changed last year! Someting is going on down there and I'm gonna have it checked out tomorrow. Anyone know what might be the problem? I hope its not serious.

Well it looks like the tranny is fine. Must've been the light last evening because when I checked the fluid again this morning and smelled it, it seemed fine. Tranny guy confirmed this. Looks like I'll just have to bring it in and see what the codes are saying. I'm actually hoping its the cats being clogged. I've been wanting to replace them anyway.

Have you changed the gas filter? Did you use the same gas both times?

I just had the fuel pump and filter changed last year. No, I filled up at some other place the first time but the last 2 times, I've been going to my usual place.
