Car kicks/bucks over 70mph

My 2002 Dodge Intrepid starts bucking/kicking over 70mph or 2.5rpm whichever comes first. What might the problem be? Check engine light is also on.

Roll up rear windows. Also, you may have a bad tire. I had the same problem with a different car and the problem was a bad tire that was worn funny. Couldn't tell until the tire was off. The check engine light is programmed to come on every so often so you'll take your car to the dealer and get it looked at, which is how the car companies make their dealers money. Ignore it, mine has been going on and off for years, no problems.

Mine was the CamShaft Sensor. Don;t buy the chaep one from the auto parts store, I went through 2 in 3 weeks before I finally got a dealership part and been running fine for 4 months now. It will run you about $60- $80, but worth it. Very easy to replace.

I had the same problem and it was the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor. It is located on your intake manifold....two screws hold it in and has a small electrical connector. Fixed the problem right away.

Try and find out, this sounds like a fuel pressure problem, which in most cases is a fuel filter clogged issue.

Bucks when it comes to a hill until you kick into it, car serviced regularly.

sounds like u may need spark plug wires replaced, also has the fuel filter been replaced every 30,000 miles as recommended by Buick?

My Car Started To Surge At 60mph and wouldnt go any higher

Common problem with the Intrepid, i had a '99 and a '04 do this to me and it was the Transmission output shaft speed sensor both times.

eventually when the problem gets worse you will get codes for the sensor as well as codes like "2nd gear ratio incorrect". It can cause a lot of strange problems like shifting into the wrong gear. Sometimes it will also try to shift into third gear when leaving a stop sign causing it to rev high and then drop into first gear.

The dodge guys charged $90 bucks to put one in for me and i did the other myself, located on the drivers side of the transmission near where the cv axle comes out. there are two sensors there, one is Vehicle Speed and the Other is output speed. I believe they have a different number of wires so just match up your new one.
