GT Sputter

Post by wildvibe »

I was driving today with 4 people in my GT. In third gear on interstate! I tried to hit lift! @ around 6500 in missed out than I hit 7000 it missed out and than again around 7500. The rev limiter totally kicked in! And yes I was warm because I had been driving for an hour when this happened. I just put in a fresh tank of 93 octane gas an hour earlier. What should I have the dealership look at? It really scared me basically didn't seem like car was getting fuel!

Could it be those bolts that are known to wear and kill your lift? http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=1993
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!
