Why do my car slow down going up hills.and go normal on straight roads

sounds to me it could be a plugged catalytic converter. the symptoms are runs good , no strain, or on the flats, then loses power with exertion, or long uphill to the point you think it's going to just quit on you. easy test is to unbolt the catalytic inlet, and give it a quick test run. sometimes you can tell by having someone race the engine while you monitor the exhaust to see if enough comes out of it. usually happens over 75,000 miles

My 97 Bonneville lost power while I was driving about 55. When I tried to give it some gas it just bogged down more...it suddenly started running good but only for a few seconds then back to the bogging...

Exhaust leak causing the PO131 & lean condition
Evap leak causing the lean condition

2000 dodge neon will run on starting fluid once,then no start

You're either out of gas or you need a new fuel pump.
Roll the keys back to the 'off' position.
Have someone sit by the back tire and listen as you roll the key forward until the lights on the dash come on DO NOT CRANK THE ENGINE OVER.

If they hear the pump then you're out of gas, if they don't hear the pump your pump is likely burned up.

Battery light on followed by other lights then died

check the wire from alternator to the battery and make sure its not loose on alternator. happened to me a few years ago, forgot to tighten wire to alternator. car lights on dash came on and car quit while driving. just make sure you are getting at least 14 volts at battery while its running, good-day !

Our 2002 Honda CRV has 154,300 plus miles. In the past year, we have had excessive repairs (new brakes-$1100, new starter, $800 plus, 150,000 maintenance last week-$535). Now, we need a new oxygen sensor...

On one hand, it is coming up to 10 years old, and nowadays, that is pretty good for this car........as this is not a little hatch, but a kind of workhorse........

But then, it's all a matter of the budget.....yours that is.....

I would suggest buying a new car, but then again, you know the vehciel history of this one......so it really is a matter of personal choice....!!!!

Was driving down the road last week and the car reeved the motor up and then would not go forward anymore,but after it cools down for a while it will move so far and then quit again.

No movement in any gear: pump failure, or total loss of fluid. R&R, or refill pan and find the leak. If out of fluid, avoid running the engine until the trans is refilled to avoid pump damage. To check for pump failure, check fluid level with the engine off, then start the engine and recheck fluid level. If level does not go down when engine is running, the pump is faulty.

The other issues also would be a bad boost valve and will need to be replaced. Inspect your transmission fluid and see what condition it's in and if you have a front pump issue.

Thank you for using fixya and good luck.

My Cirrus just quit on me ystrday, while I was driving. My low fuel light was not on, but I was below qtr tank. I put gas into it, and still not turning over.. the car wants to turn over when I apply...

Try changing the fuel filter first if you have not done so already. Also make sure your air cleaner is clean then try to restart. Good luck!

95 Landcruiser Turbo warning light comes on under heavy load

If you are "lugging" the engine, you will get increased exhaust temperature (EGT), this will trigger your "turbo" light(not a good thing), ideally you should have an aftermarket "pyrometer" fitted to your car, this will show you the optimum revs etc you should be using in any given circumstance.Or revise your driving technique, ie change down gears earlier.
The turbo should be idled down after long trips or heavy towing, this allows the oil temps to stabilise and turbine speeds to stabilise, thus idle for 2-5 minutes.

In short your engine will require 3 things to fire, spark/timing of, fuel, and compression. Check the easiest 1st, pull a plug wire and check for spark, if there is spark crank the engine over a few times more then remove a spark plug, if there is fuel on plugs you have gas flow and injector pulse, now check compression if there is good compression you should have good timing. Please check the above and let me know waht you do / do not have, from there we can narrow it down and get you an answer. Could very well be a crank sensor or such, until you narrow it down, the possibilities are endless.

Please let me know and I'll try to help,
Tom
