Ok.. this was very weird today. Today i was in a rush to get to school as i woke up late so about 3 seconds after i turned on the car, i put the car into reverse and it would be stuttering. like it would be thursting backwards on and off. Another question is how much will a full tune up cost? I doubt i would be able to do it myself.

did it get better after it warmed up?

could be a vaccum leak, mine did that untill i replaced all the lines.

It became better. Later that afternoon when i came back from school, since it was so hot, the engine was a lot warmer, not to say the mornings are temperatures like 5 degrees. But when i backed out then, there was no hesitation. But the thing that did come back after the storm that passed by, was a loud somewhat high pitched whirring squeel. I think it may be a belt. It usually goes away after a little bit of time of no rain. Should i just replace whatever that is? Lastly, how much did it cost to replace all of the lines?

it was about 8 bucks, i just did all the lines that i could see. engine going to the firewall and etc.

What would be the symptoms of a vacuum leak?

Nick_M_51988

yes, a shudder is a symptom, there are others though.


how long has it been since a full tuneup?
