ok, i've put this question to several people i know and i get different answers, so here goes: i have a 94 cavy and for the last few weeks whenever i have to make a hard stop it acts like it wants to cut off, idle speed drops and comes this close to cutting off. well, yesterday, it finally cut off on me when i tried to stop too hard but it cranked right back up again just fine. please help. i've gotten that it may be the starter(which i believe as much as the sky is green) or maybe the fuel pump. also what would cause hesitation in the tranny shifting gears in an automatic? :banghead:

Doubt if it is either of these as the starter only comes into play when you start it,the first symptoms noticed with the fuel pump or filter is a hesitation at full throttle.
It seems to be a tune-up, sensor related or vacuum problem.
When was the last t/u?
Has the check engine light come on?
Check all of the vacuum lines to make sure there connected.
Let us know what happens.

well, the check engine light comes on a lot off and on b/c i had the original engine replaced with one out of another model, so electrical codes tend to not match up alot. there's so much going on with it right now, i may just have to break down and take it to the mechanic

It almost sounds like the TCC isn't disengaging. if it doesn't it will cause a stalling when you stop. you might have sticking valves in the tranny
