wow, it seems like every old bonneville starts to do this at one point or another.

The fuel filter is connected to the fuel pump, so I think you need to drop out the tank to check the pump and filter.

it'* 7 years old with 200 thousand miles? yes, that'* old and a lot of mileage.

not MILES. 200k = 200,000 KM. I forgot the M, ok. and i said with NOT EVEN. it'* got like 190,000km on it. And it'* not old. It'* got tonnes of spunk left.

'K' means thousand. 'not even' means up to 199,999.

What did you mean by this? did your car do this before? If so, what wsa the trouble??

I took it to a "reputable" shop and they're idiots. They kept saying it'* the exhaust, it'* the exhaust at first, because it wasn't getting back pressure, but the exhaust is the exact same except for some stupid tips.
Then they said ok, it sounds like a miss. So they took it out for a test drive and do you know what the guy told me?
i don't know what'* wrong, but when it does that, just hit the brakes or down shift it *rolls eyes* when it DOES it it'* so quick that you don't have TIME to downshift or hit the brakes. Morons...

Anyway. It'* still doing it.

They're usually really rally good...I've always gone to them. But anyway. I asked about the computer, and the guy said "it won't bring up anything if there are no warning lights on, it would be a waste of time"
I have other problems to worry about now though. LOL IT FEELS LIKE MY WHEEL IS GOING TO FALL OFF!! And it'* shaking, and pulling really hard to the right. Probably like a wheel bearing or something...no, the wheel isn't loose, that'* the first think I checked

The wobble was the tire. The belt shifted or something and there was a huge bulge in it. I guess that'* from getting pissed off and spinning my tires the other day....but anyway.

I still cant figure out what the other thing is!! they didn't have time to "look at it better" today

Ok. I THINK the 'jerk' thing is the lock up thing on the tranny kicking in and out. Now that I come to think of it, my ex'* car did this, and then it screwed RIGHT UP and took a permenant vaccation to the junk yard
Is there an easy fix to way to tell for sure if it'* the tranny? I think I am looking @ big $$...
i KNEW I shouldn't have spun those tires...

hook it up to a scan tool and monitor the TCC slip.
