Ok - I have a 1999 Countour SE V-6 104,000 miles...
My car felt like it was skipping or stalling at all speeds. My CEL had come on a couple of months ago and I ignored it. It went off. Since my car was driving so badly, I figured it was the 02 sensor. Took it to autozone hoping they could pull up the last code that was on my computer and they could not get anything. So I changed plugs and wires. My car stopped the skipping thing but now it is doing something different.
When my engine revs it makes a whining noise...especially when I take off. The noise corresponds to the revveing of the engine and it kinds sounds like a sick turbo noise. Not sure what it is, kinda scary tho. It will also do it when I am just drivng and press the gas to get up a hill or something.
The SCARIER problem is my tranny.
When I accelerate, my transmission is shifting a bit crazy. It will shift gears, rev up high for a second and shift again and it will shift kind of rough sometimes. Am I about to replace my transmission?
I have a bad feeling about this! I think I am going to make a Dr's appt for my car.
