This car drives me nuts
No engine light, no error codes.
Car stalls when decelerating; sometimes under steady acceleration (up hills); sometimes when at idle; sometimes when coasting down hills; sometimes when pulling away from a light, in other words, any time it feels like it. But for the last two days, it ran perfectly, no problem. My wife won't drive it, its jinxed. Could it be a loose connection somewhere? Maybe I'll pour some sake in the air intake and let it kamekaze itself into a Hummer and collect the insurance. |

I only use premium in my Max too. It sucks at 1.97 a gallon, but your car will love you for it and run a hellova lot better. Your problem could be any number of things though. A dirty fuel filter, bad fuel pump, plugs, and the list goes on. I'd take it to a reliable mechanic for a good tune up and see if that helps.
good luck! |

Your problem could also be intermittant Electrical!
One area I would look into is the fuel pump power circuit, i.e fuse, relay, connectors etc. Also you can have the fuel pump tested for current draw, and pressure output. Pay close attention to your connections for rust and corrosion. Process of elemination can be slow and painfull! Good luck. -Mike |
