May be a clogged catalytic converter, that will cause the exact problem. Also a throttle position sensor may cause this but will most likely set an engine code. If the check engine light is lit you should have the car scanned for codes. Scan it for codes even if it's not lit as it may have stored codes in history. Hope this helps.

2006 Hyundai Elantra with 2.0 automatic with 111000 miles. Car is hesitating and begins shaking going up steep hills. Problem seems the worst at around 3000 rpm going up hill. The car wont stop shaking...

There's many reasons this can happen, but start simple. Fuel pump may be failing. Usually under load they can not supply the fuel the engine is demanding. (Up hill acceleration is a classic example). change the fuel filter first, if that doesn't not correct the problem, test fuel system pressure. (:

CAr is sluggish and wont respond when going up hills or accelerating over 65mph.Is this a spark plug issue?

This happened to my 2003 Trailblazer at about 70,000 miles. Going uphill it would slow down and then downshift as it dramatically lost power. Bottom line, the Catalytic Converter was plugged. When first accelerating it ran fine but after that it acted up and got continually worse. You didn't mention if the service engine light came on or not. Something else that might cause the no power is the fuel filter may be plugged. Change it first as it is cheap compared to the converter. Good luck.

Problems with accelrating and decelerating and costing on 2009CRV

Hello there, First I would like to mention that turning your wheel had absoulutly nothing to do with the problems you are experiencing don't beat your self up over it. To me it sure does sound like you have some thing going on. You might want to take it to a reptutable reapir shop that you can trust to get a second opinion, not pointing fingers but sometimes warranty work is not the favorite thing some dealerships like to do.

I think you do need to address this before something may happen because the noises and symptoms you are describing are not normal.

Good luck and I hope this helps. Allen

1995 Ford F150 Acceleration Issues

I THINK THEY MAY HAVE DAMAGED THE PLUG WIRE BOOTS, TAKE A LOOK AT THEM AND SEE IF THE RUBBER BOOTS ARE TORN OR DAMAGED, CHEAP TUNE-UP SHOPS ARE FAMOUS FOR CAUSING THIS KIND OF DAMAGE, THERE IS A SPECIAL TOOL TO REMOVE THE WIRES WHICH GET STUCK TO THE PLUGS, MANY YOUNG KIDS DO THE WORK BUT DON'T EVEN KNOW THE TOOL EXISTS.
