Ok, Here it goes.... i have a 2000 Mercury Mystique.... I've had it for almost 2 years now.. Last summer, when I would turn on the A/C my car would kinda jolt back and forth... acting like it wanted to shut off... on maybe 2 or 3 occasions it did.. then when it would shut off, it would start back up, it didn't do it all the time when i turned it on... Now it also does it when I turn on the heater... but not all the time... its done it 2 times so far this winter. I have been told that there has got to be something wrong with the transmission... another thing on that... when i start my car up... it makes a weird sound like "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" if ya know what I mean?? Lol. Then it stops... then it does it every now and then... I was told that also has something to do with the transmission?! anyone anything??? I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas before i started going and spending all sorts of money on stuff that isnt even necessary to buy...
Thanks?!

I'd check to see if you have enough freon in your A/C. If not add stop leak as well as freon and see how it works then. Have Autozone pull PCM check engine codes to see if you have any. If so, please post what they are.....

the "mmmmmmmmmm" sound.. does it sound like a fog horn, or a reverberating air sound? look up moosing in the troubleshooting forums, if that sounds like your problem..


Fixing the moose will also fix throttle hang, where your revs drop very slowly...
