Cruise control????
Yesterday I was going about 80 mph and when I took my foot off the gas in about a second it felt like the brakes where applied, but when I put my foot back on the gas there was a small jolt and everything was fine. Then today when going on the off ramp to stop the engine reved up a little before I stopped. I checked to see if I accedentally hit the cruise but it was off and I haven't used it for a month.

This may sound stupid, but how much gas did you have in the tank when you were going 80 and you felt that jolt?
|
yea mine does this also I will be driving about 70 and then I lay off the gas and if feels as if I immediately slow down. Iget on it again and I feel almost like a shudder Why does it do this??

I think it's normal. When you take your foot completely off the gas going that speed I think it just downshifts, and when you hit the gas right after it's shifting out of that gear, hence the slight jolt :?

This decceleration didn't start happening until a week ago. I hope that all of my lead foot driving on the highway isn't taking its toll on the tranny. :oops:
When driving without CC on, and you take your foot off the gas at 80mph, it will decellerate fast, and when you hit the gas right after you'll get a jolt probably. But, if you have CC ON, and it loses speed, then you may have some vacuum line leaks. |
The cruise control is off. I just wondered if it was turning on and off without me knowing. I say this because my old 84' Park av. had a cruise control that would just turn on and off whenever it pleased, leading to sudden acceleration and an accedent. I almost never use my CC.

Now that I think about it the tranny does downshift whenever I take my foot off the gas. This is my first car with a electronicaly controled transaxle and its very different from other cars iv'e driven where you have to slam it to get a downshift. I like having power the instant I hit the gas, makes for swift merging and passing. :twisted:
