Hey folks,
I'm new to the forum & to the world of DSM. I bought my 1995 FWD Talon TSI back in April of last year. Last friday on the way to work I was driving up hill & really got on the gas. After a few minutes I noticed that I was losing power & my Heat gauge was nearing overheat status. I pulled off the road & let the car cool down for about 10 minutes before getting back on the road.
Since that occurred I now get a stuttering hesitation as the car accelerates from a stop, up until I hit about 2800 rpms. I also feel a slight hiccup while using the cruise control traveling up hill. I've also noticed that the rpms are slightly higher at speed than they used to be. For example, normally I'd be at about 2700 rpms at 65mph, and now it hovers around 3k.
I hadn't had the transmission flushed after purchasing the car so last weekend I had that done at a Pep Boy's (Including the filter). The stuttering isn't as pronounced as it was, but it is still there and noticeable. Also every once and a while during acceleration from a stop I'll hear a popping sound during the stuttering.
What am I looking at here for repairs guys?
Thanks for your help!
