DeathSlinger00 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 hey guys! for as long as i've had my monte, it's never really liked reverse. it'll shift in no problem, but when you give it gas the car will shudder and slowly build up speed. ..this was never a big deal to me, because how often do you need reverse, right? anyway, today i went out to run a few errands and when i got on the highway to get home i opened her up.. i let off the gas (around 25mph) and punched it. it downshifted to 1st, and hesitated shifting into 2nd. while it was hesitating, the car was doing that similar shuddering as it does in reverse. i had to let off the gas pedal for it to upshift. and after that, from a dead stop it seems like it'll always start from 2nd gear. the car will shudder and build speed slowly and sometimes shift into 3rd. my trans is on its way out, isn't it? i checked the fluid level - it was low - i added what it needed and still no improvement. oh, and the bugger stalled on me a few times whilst in traffic and took a lil longer than 10-15 mins of sitting and cranking and pumping on the gas pedal to get it to start up again. once it got started, it seems to run okay. i pulled the air cleaner off and the carb is putting fuel into the t-body. so could it be the fuel pump?? i'm a F.I. guy, so please forgive me. i don't think these two problems could be related, but its rather strange they both happened in the same afternoon a few minutes apart from eachother. i needs input! please!!!! thanks. -dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidTX Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 For the running bad portion, the first thing I would do is check the points and timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathSlinger00 Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 thing is; when it's running, it runs well. but it was when it stalls out and doesn't want to start back up again. the more i think about it, it seems like it's more willing to start up like normal when its cooled off for a bit. only when it stalls out like this, its a pain to start back up again. *scratches head* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
