Engine cuts out at shift (auto)

Sep 02, 2004 1 Replies

I've got a strange one here. Engine runs fine, but when accelerating, especially hard acceleration, the engine cuts out for a second just as the automatic transmission reaches shift. Going from first to second, second to third most noticable. Then kicks back in. Makes for a real jerky ride. Anyone have experience with an issue like this one?


Try replacing the pressurized gas cap. Get the correct one - mine said "pre-vented." Made my 92 SE stop all that rough running immediately. See my post from today 9/6/2004 at 12:23 AM.
