lambobaby1218 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I have been experiencing lately, as I depress the brake and let go, a very mild jerking motion. It's almost as if my accelerator is pushed in a little, but it's not, I've checked (no carpet or anything on it). When I'm at a stop light and sitting for a little bit, I take my foot of the brake, and the car goes forward a little faster than I seem to remember. Also, when I'm readjusting my foot if it's on the brake, the car will jerk a little bit instead of a steady accelerated motion. It's hard to explain. I'm just wondering if anybody else is having the type of thing happen to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lambobaby1218 Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 How's your idle RPM? I will check and post tomorrow. Honestly, the shifting feels different, as well. Normally I don't feel it, but I seem to now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Maybe the ECT power is turned on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambobaby1218 Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 Now that you say that, I was messing with the ECT last week. However, I think it's off, there's no light on my dash that's lit. My idle RPM, when the car is warmed up, in drive and at a stop sign, is about 600-700. When it is warming up in the morning, in park, it's 1200. When it is warming up in the morning, in drive and at a stop sign, it's 1000. I'm thinking it's just the cold mornings we've been having, because the only time I have the issue is when it is cold, as I started thinking about it more. We've had more mornings in the upper 30s than I can think of over the last couple winters. Thanks, Bartkat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 If it's that cold, then things just don't work right for a little while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
