(But I don't know if that's air, or fuel. more like a pressure releasing from a soda bottle kind of sound. I pulled on the accelerator linkage, and the engine seems to rev up and then probably around 1500-1800 rpm (scientific wild assed guess) I'd hear a pop sound. Put it in 'park' and listened to the engine. But still hesitation on shifting, or no shifting at all from 2nd to 3rd. Even with the proverbial pedal to the metal I get little to no response.įirst thought was 'oh # %!, my transmission is going out.'ĭropped auto-transmission into 1st, accelerated, shifted to 2nd smoothly, accelerated more, and into 3rd. It gets to about 30-35 miles an hour, and feels like it wants to shift to second, but does not. about 4 seconds later, it starts to pull forward. I come home, car sits in the drive way for about 2 hours, and I hop in to run an errand, and the car at first feels sluggish.īy sluggish I mean that when I push the gas pedal, instead of getting the usual forward response, I get a pause, and more of a creep forward than the usual lurch.

Regular oil changes with full synthetic at the dealerships suggestion (but done by my own mechanic.) And changed the air filter about 600 miles ago.

I've had all the belts changed, had the brake system (but not the master cylinder) replaced, had the fuel filter changed out. I'd found that outside the mandated service checks to maintain the warranty, the previous owner took very poor care of it. I bought a used 1999 C230 Kompressor about 15 months ago, and bought the old line of 'The wife just uses it for her long distance commute.' hook line and sinker.
