Hi, I was sitting at a stop light yesterday, and my car just violently jumped foward. It stayed running and drove fine afterward. Does anyone have any clue what this may be? I haven't run any tests what-so-ever.

Keep in mind, about 2 months ago the tranmission slipped on me once. Havent had any troubles in about 3,000 miles until this.

Thanks!

When you say jumped do you mean it litteraly jumped or kinda surged a little forward?

Its call TORQUE

Surged foward with quite a jerk.

I had a similar experience, and mine felt like the tranny disengaged, and slammed into gear.. but not violently. almost felt like putting a car in gear when the idle is too high. but at the time this happened to my car, It was already in gear, and i was stopped at a red light.

My friend said. I think your tranny is shot, but since then I have had no tranny troubles, an dmy fluid looks good as well.

Thats just about exactly what mine did. I'll have it looked at tomorrow.

This sounds like the pcm commanded more fuel for some reason. Guessing that maybe MAF/TPS is acting up ...but want more opinions on that.

Well it seemed like what MadSam said. Almost like it popped out of gear, then back in very violently'

Whats the TPS?

Throttle Position Sensor..

I'm thinking it'* either seeing an incorrect amount of air or a bad throttle position.

However I've asked for other gearhead/admin/mod input ... hopefully we'll have something for you soon.

Okay, thanks a lot. This doesn't sound like a transmission problem to you?
