hello all i look foward to hearing all of your advice as i am new to this forum!! i have a 1998 lesabre with the 3800. it has 52000 miles on it! it seems to have a little power loss when i excellerate. i will push the pedal down and it will go then have a little studder it doesn't put just kinda studders and then goes but this only happens when i excellerate any ideas please help thanks

any hot start problems? if so check pressure regulator vacume side for fuel . Any corsion on ignition coil towers.Check engine light? EGR?

no there is no hot start problems no check engine light i will check the coil towers for corsion thanks

maybe a tranz problem? [img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img]

Could be coils (actually going bad even though not corroded), or also might be Throttle Position Sensor.

if the trans was going bad i would think it would have a noticable rpm increase when the power is going away because it woudl be slipping...





when was the last time the car was tuned up? a throttle response issue could certainly be somewhere in the firing system...which a full tune up could fix.\


how long has it been doing this? just recently, like since the last fill up? it could be bad gas...Edited by: Patrick

Maybe an air intake clean may help. Juste shooting carb cleaning in the air intake butterfly often help a lot.
