So this past summer when I returned home to S. Indiana from Purdue I found that my 97 gl was having some problems. While driving it would stutter and jerk while going down the road, sometimes stalling at take-off. Took the car to our mechanic, a family friend of several years, who messed around with it for a week or two and decided we should just put in another transmission. Sounded good to me. :shrug:
After a month or so of waiting he finally found a transmission for the car and got it to his shop. Shortly thereafter he found out he had the wrong one, sent it back and began looking for another. Got that one in, swapped out my original one and found that this transmission didn't help either. $900 for nothing. So I had no summer job because I had no transportation, and at the end of the summer, just a pos to get me around town.
So when I got back to school where I have amazing internet I began looking for my problem. I found lots of things that sounded like my problems such as MAF, O2 and TRS problems. So I have been trying to get him to look at those to no avail, he keeps getting codes and trying other things. Should I get these codes from him and try to figure things out for myself or let him keep messing around? Again, it still jerks while going down the road, sometimes giving me a whistle while accelarating. It feels like it jumps into neutral and then kicks back into gear causing a hard jerk. It is about to send me to the loony bin so any helpful opinions on what to do would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Derek
P.S. Another problem I have been having is the sound cutting out on the drivers side. I know it is not my speakers as I just put in some Infinity Kappa series 6x8s. I really don't wana run new wire to them but maybe i should?
