Grande Prairie,
Hey guys, the issue im having is my cel will come on and sort of flicker and the car will sputter with next to no acceleration. It happened when I was in 3rd gear doing like 50KMH, just kinda cruising with a steady throttle. If I let off the throttle and coast to a stop the cel is out and the car accelerates normal unlit I get up to about 50kmh cruising 3rd gear. Or if I leave it in second @ about 4000rpm or whatever @ 50kmh, it seems to be fine as well. This morning it was fine. This problem has originally happened only a couple times and only for a couple seconds. Yesterday it started doing it after about an hour or two of running around town, and it seemed to get progressivly worse. Pull a code would be an easy answer if the light would stay on. Any ideas.

Thanks, Matt
 
Have you replaced the ecu?
I ask cause i replaced mine and it did the same thing cause it was the wrong ecu i got off ebay.

Still if you didnt replace it you need too!
