Thread: Engine seams like it wants to stall

Tweet

Have a 1999 Sunfire with a auto trans and 4 cil engine. Some times when comming to stop or to make a trun. Engine acts like it wants to qiut. Also som times thier is a slight hesitation when starting off. Engine light is not comming on. My 1st thought is the fuel filter. So I,m going to put a fuel filter on and also poor some of that fuel cleaner in tank. The car all ready has a new air filter. What could be some other possibilies. Thanks, John.

how many miles are on the engine?

About 125000 or so. Have had the car about 2 years. Have never put a fuel filter in it. It had 85000 on it when I bought it. The only thing I,ve done to car is change oil a few times. Plugs and wires, Air filter.

do a full tuneup on it, timing belt included, unless you know for a fact that one has been done on your car(if you dont, its very likely yours will snap) and then get a OBD2 scanner and hook it up and check what code its throwing... make whatever repair is needed.... and you should be good... autozone will rent you a scanner for free, pepboys will run a diagnostic for you for $20, and most shops will do the same.....

u may have a egr going bad i had the same thing but my engine light came on and that was the scan that came up from auto zone. there is a site i can give u hope this makes no waves but here it is www.jbody.org good info for the jbody owner just make sure u do a search cause they are cocky about ? that already been answered
