In order for me to keep the speed it needs to be at 4000 or so rpm. If i let it go back down to 2000 or so rpm, the car slowly looses speed. And when i hammer the gas it accelerates very slow, but this is only when im going 40 or above. If i put the cruise control on, and the car starts to slow down, it shoots to 4000 or so rpm to keep the speed.
Has anyone had a problem like this? I was told it may be the MAF sensor? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks ~ ADAM
OH BTW...its a 2000 2.4 L w/ 50k miles

hey it also sounds like a shift solenoid to me to. i had the same problem with my car and it was the shift solenoid. to test it just unplug the solenoid electrical connector and if that solves the problem than you know its the solenoid. i unplugged mine it does no damage to your tranny what so ever.
