Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting svt isnt running optimal.

well ill be driving around and it will be in nutreal and the rpm will raise and lower.. like from 750-2200rpm its weird

then out of no were it will sputter bogg down and wont go past like 30 mph..

i dont know what it is.. what do u all think??

thats me^^^^^

i have a new name..

but somtimes when im low on gas when i go to take off and hit like 5k rpm its slow not as fast do u think its like the fuel filter??

i mean it doesnt rev up as fast when im going threw gears.

another problem i forgot to mention is when im in high rpms and shift i hear a squeek. i dunno what it is i changed the supr tensioner and it still does it.. i dunno what it is.. any ideas??

Could be fuel filter

or the IAC valve.

for both the driveability issues.

For the squeak, if it is more of a squeal, it could be the serpentine belt.

Sounds like throttle hang to me. There are several threads on this problem. My SVT used to do the same thing when I first got it. It's been 50,000 miles since the fix and I've had no problems since.

Other option is IAC, as mentioned above, which is fairly common around here. However, I would try the throttle hang fix first because it is so cheap.

bump...


anyone else wanna comment...

i need to find some of this stuff out.
