1999 lanos

Post by kiwimayhem »

Hi

Ive got a 1999 1.5 lanos and recently when i give it the gas it runs like its running on 3 cylinders
it starts fine, idles fine, drives fine till you get to about 80 and put your foot down then it goes to the pack...button off the gas and it comes back right again

HELP

thanks

Dean

when you floor it from 30 km in third gear you get to 80 and it does the same thing, chuck it into fourth and still the same till you button right off the gas and it comes right again....it did roughly the same thing today when i was driving up a hill, went from fourth to third with my foot down to keep going up the hill and it started slowing down and sounded like it was running on 3 cylinders again
