Mine was doing that and it had a vacuum leak on the T shaped vacuum connector. that comes up from the mapp tank to the intake. When you get to high speed it sucks more air and revs up then trys to adjust itself and goes too far and revs down. I changed it and runs great. You should be able to hear it if it is a vacuum leak. Even at idle. Sounds like it is sucking air.

I think you are have what is called torque converter shutter. Go to an O'reillys or napa and ask for lubegard in the red bottle. Put it in and drive it for a couple of weeks. Hopefully it will help.

Xterra transmission won't shift out of first gear. Is there a vacuum hose to check? It has been running perfectly until this morning.

No vacuum hose as this is an electronic shift control trans. Check the fluid condition and rad cap to see if there is any cross contamination due to a faulty trans cooler in the rad. If MIL is on check code

Buick lesabre transmission will not go into gear unless engine is high rpm then it jerks into gear and works fine it is worse when 1st started morning

Check your transmission fluid level. By putting it into gear at high RPM, you're forcing it and may be really damaging your transmission. The car needs to be running when you check your dipstick (its the red handled one.)

Just bought a used 1999 dodge ram 1500 4x4, the transmission was fine as-well as the idle when i got it. Got it to th interstate to get home and it wouldnt go above 40mph an running near 4000rpm just to...

No, your truck is not shifting out of second gear when it is warm. If your check engine light is on, scan it for codes. The bands on the transmission need to be adjusted, they can be adjusted from the outside on a dodge. Inspect your transmission fluid, it it's discolored or smells burnt, have it flushed and new filter installed. Use only ATF+4 fluid. I hope this helps.

What does it mean when my temperature gage is cooler than normal?

In most cases nothing, but have your antifreeze tested to see if maybe to much concntrate, otherwise, just keep eye on it and fluids to make don't go the other way.

2003 F250 6.0 diesel hit 5th gear and starts shaking when acclera

the mechanic should check on the electrical system of the car .the battery , the coils ,.the rotor the fuses , the starter solenoid , the sensor the spark plug and the distributor assembly. check for worn out and corroution . If there is then clean if not any more working then replace.loose connection also may be one cost of not warming. The fuel pump should also be checked and the idle to be adjusted for acceleration.The inter cooler do not have a problem with this it don't have a connection.It should not be touched.the surging when you place it to the fifth gear may be is about the quantity of the gas or fuel that is going to the engine when running.

There a lot of cuses for this but you need to scan the vehicule before to know what sensor is having troubles, if is too much expensive the scan in your city consider to buy one. I see in ebay a lot of types of OBD2 scanners for $25-30!
