Default Issue w/ my GS

When I am driving slow and I am feeling my car driving in spurts. It seems like my car is giving me a kick back type of feel. This only happens when I press the gas pedel down slightly. When Im driving fast it doesn't happen, but only when im like cruising and not gassing the car.

has anyone have any issues like this?
Anything I can do?


Thanks

ive used some of the cheap cleaners before but i guess i should go for the good stuff, how do u know its the fuel pump and not the tranny, theres alot of good things about the GS, the tranny and lack of limited slip diff is not one of them

Yes, this happens to me too. But not just when I roll to stop signs. I noticed its been dropping my RPM a little (thats when the "delay" happens) then my car jerks forward. This has been happening more consectutively now. Like 2-3 times before I drive now. only way i've been avoiding it, is by just gassing it more.

lol I think you need to clean the TB with some gun cutter and replace your Battery, that should fine it. I had that issue on my GS for about 2 years and the dealer couldn't figure it out ,they replace my tranny 3 times.i finally clean the TB and replace my baterry because it was getting low and no problem for almost a year now GL.
