A bad fuel filter or fuel pump or a combination of the Two will act like that, the EGR valve can do that but then it wouldn't idle also check the air filter. If it's never been tuned up now would be a good time for that as well. I hope this helps. Take care.

How do i reset power door settings 2006 pontiac vibe

While I have not had this problem with my 2006 Pontiac Vibe, I had the same problem you describe on my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Unfortunately, the solution is to replace the module in the door panel. I was able to purchase the part at a much lower price on ebay than a dealership, about 1/4th the price. However I had a professional mechanic do the replacement because removing a door panel can be tricky to do without damaging it.

My car will not go faster than 35 mph. I went to auto zone, they performed a test which stated transmission malfunction. Could it be the Solenoid?

my experience with these cars is to take them too the dealer for the diagnostics and estimate for repair,it's not that expensive and it lets you know where you're standing in the ball park,then you can shop around and compare

Wierd noise

Sounds like a wheel bearing going, or gone. Possible tire/alignment, but more than likely, wheel bearing. You going to fix, or have it fixed?

2009 Pontiac Vibe speedometer inaccurate

Because pontiac vibe is a toyota matrix clone and both are made in two different places/countries I guess pontiac ( better looking one - new model :) has different size tires . Speedometer is calibrated to standard size tires . If you have smaller or bigger you will see some differences. Of course it may be few other things but let's start with the simplest one. Good luck
