Sound like the same issue??

 

well, sort of... except it has nothing to do with what gear its in.... I can be in 6th gear going up a slight hill and it'll do it just as if it were in 1st just starting off. I'm pretty sure its not the tranny at this point.

I'm going to put a new fuel filter and maybe pump in this week and see if that helps anything.... I find it unusual that these two issues came up around the same time.

Sorry to bring this up again, but the CEL light started coming on not too long after I made this last post. I pulled the code and it was the MAF sensor.

I took it out, cleaned it and that helped it but didn't totally solve the problem. Two weeks later the light came back, and I pulled the code again and it was the same. I ordered a new MAF sensor and put it in. The light is now off, but I'm still getting sputtering -- or something -- around 1700-1900 RPM.

I can't figure out what it is and it's really annoying. When it happens, although it's an automatic, it feels like the clutch is being engaged and the engine increases RPM for a split-second, then it jerks and it's back to normal.

Now, I have a CVT transmission which does have an automatic clutch. Could it be that? I would be surprised if it were something in the tranny, honestly, considering how much better the MAF sensor helped out.

This is very bizarre...

 

Anyone? This seems very bizarre to me

 

I just realized I forgot to change the fuel filter. I'm going to order now now, I'll post back if that helps. I'm sure it's time anyway...
