Power Loss - Very Low Acceleration

muppet62 · 10-19-2009, 02:09 PM

Hi
My Forenza have run 52,000 without problems until today.
The car work fine until I get home after work, the car appear to be perfect until I try to run it at the street. The car never reach more than 10-15 mph. The motor light is on now and when I start the car the wippers begging running (is a ghost jjeejej). When I press the pedal to accelerate it take some time to accelerate. The motor revolutions are stable in all moments, not strange sounds, just very slow acceleration.
I get the car to the dealer and for sure the 36k miles warranty has expired.
Any help with this matter.
If I get help here I cant save some money jjeje .
Thanks for any help

Hi People
The dealer techs told me that the problem is the throttle body or something like that. I know that this parts is over $400 new. Is there any way to replease that part with a cheaper one?
Thanks

Sounds like either wiring issue (Wiper going on its own) so check the left front fender under the fuse box back to where it goes into the body for shorts cracked or broken wires.

Also when it does this does the PRNDL display goto X if so probably the TR sensor on the front of the trans.
