Hey guys,

I finally had some time to check the tranny fluid when the motor is warmed up and running. Upon the inspection, the tranny fluid level is still within the two notches. The other thing is, I noticed during this time my battery has been a little weak during cranks so I brought it into autozone for a check up and a recharged. After I recharged the battery, the car has been running like normal again. I have no encounter the problem yet.

I wanted to come back and let you guys know this and also ask would my battery voltage be even related to cause an issue like this?

Thanks in advance.

Did they check the alternator output as well?
Low voltage could exhibit the condition you were experiencing as low voltage will reduce fuel pressure as well as ignition output. If low rpm alternator output is low the car would be running on battery voltage which will gradually decrease. When you get into higher rpms the alternator is spinning faster and could produce a higher voltage.

To sum up, have your alternator checked as a poorly performing charging system can cause your aforementioned issues.

U know, what dean said is correct. My car was acting the same way, I found out it was my battery so I switched it out and got a brand new one. (I wasn't aware of the alternator) then about 9 month later, It did the same thing all over again. The conclusion came out to a bad alternator. Hope it helps.
