Engine is Bogging as throttle is opened up

4.6L is Bogging when stepping gas pedal when in park not as bad when in gear with foot on brake. We replaced the passenger side Cat and pulled the O2 Sensor out front of the Cat problem didn't go away so it is not the other Cat. Notice a bad smell when the Car starting acting up. Was told it could be the map sensor. Also has a lot of condensation coming out of the exhaust pipe. We know these engines have problems with the intake manifold gaskets ect... The Car has 127K has been a great Car.

Nothing like guessing! There can only be 2 sources of issues. Lack of fuel, lack of air flow. Check fuel pressure and flow, check EGR and IAC.

SOURCE: 2003 Mercury Mountaineer with 4.6L is loosing

dont know of any head gasket concerns, usually when the intake manifold leaks it either split and pours out or the heater hose fittings crack and leak. Check the hose connections at the intake and make sure none of the hose clamps have cracked and are leaking

Make sure that is the sensor. That should be your oil pressure sensor. Follow the top radiator hose to the thermostat look closest to that for the wire going to the sensor. This should be the temp sensor. Good luck

SOURCE: Heater hose connecter pulls out of intake manifold

Try cleaning the tube and manifold where they connect (use small wire brush or?). I would try using JB Weld @ the fitting before i would even consider a new intake. Water pressure in the cooling system shouldn't be much over 15-18 lbs. so doing this quick fix should solve the problem.

SOURCE: P1401 still after replacing EGR pressure and EGR valve

Yes that is what is wrong the intake manifold is plugged with carbon restricting EGR flow you need to clean out the ports to correct the problem if you run the car to long you will burn the DPFE ( the EGR pressure sensor ) out agian

Try a salvage yard for the part. As soon as your new car left the lot it became a used car. Used cars run on used parts.
If the old part is a recall they will upgrade you regardless which part is on your car.
Check the internet and enter your part# in the search box of the Browser. You may get lucky for a new part.

Auto transmission not changing down to 1st stage while in motion, causing the car to buck. I stomp on the gas pedal to kick it down it loses power and takes at least 1 second to respond.

Auto transmission not changing down to 1st stage while in motion ? You mean not down shifting to first gear ! Which transmission does your cavalier have ?
Automatic Transaxle - 3T40 Automatic Transaxle - 4T40-E
Some of this may be over your head , if so I suggest you take it to a qualified repair shop .
Electrical/Garage Shift Tests
Perform this test before a hoist or road test in order to make sure that electronic control inputs are connected and operating. If you do not check the inputs before operating the transmission, you could misdiagnose a simple electrical condition as a major transmission condition.
Use the scan tool on the Hydra-Matic 4T40-E transmission for valuable information and accurate diagnosis.
  1. Move the gear selector to Park (P) and set the parking brake.
  2. Connect a scan tool to the DLC terminal.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Connect power to the scan tool.
  5. Verify that the following signals are present on the scan tool:
  6. ?€¢
    Engine speed (RPM)


    ?€¢
    Transmission input speed (Turbine)


    ?€¢
    Transmission output speed


    ?€¢
    Vehicle speed (miles/hour)


    ?€¢
    A/B/C Range


    ?€¢
    PRNDL select


    ?€¢
    Desired PCS


    ?€¢
    Actual PCS


    ?€¢
    PCS duty cycle


    ?€¢
    Brake switch


    ?€¢
    Engine coolant temperature (Coolant)


    ?€¢
    Transmission fluid temperature (Trans Temp)


    ?€¢
    Throttle angle (TPS)


    ?€¢
    System volts

  7. Monitor the BRAKE SWITCH signal while tapping the brake pedal with your foot. The brake switch signal should be:
  8. Released -- when the brake pedal is released
    Applied -- when the brake pedal is depressed
  9. Monitor the PRNDL SELECT signal and move the gear selector through all the ranges.
  10. Verify that the PRNDL SELECT value matches the gear range indicated on the instrument panel or console.
    The gear selections should be immediate and not harsh.
  11. Move the gear selector to Neutral and monitor the throttle angle signal while increasing and decreasing engine RPM with the accelerator pedal.
The throttle angle should increase with engine RPM.

If you have completed the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system check, if the diagnostics are functioning properly and if no DTCs display, you may use the Typical Scan Values in the table below for comparison within the appropriate transmission. These typical values are an average of display values recorded from normally operating vehicles. They represent the display from a normally functioning system.
You should never use a scan tool that displays faulty data. The problem should be reported to the manufacturer. The use of a faulty scan tool can result in misdiagnosis and the unnecessary replacement of parts.
Only the parameters listed below are used in this manual for diagnosing. If a scan tool displays other parameters, the values are not recommended by General Motors for use in diagnosis.
Scan tests are performed under the following driving conditions:
?€¢
Idle


?€¢
Upper radiator hose is hot


?€¢
Closed throttle


?€¢
Park or Neutral


?€¢
Closed Loop


?€¢
Accelerator OFF


?€¢

Can bad 02 sensors cause the engine to vibrate and make a humming noise? or bad motor mounts

Bad O2 sensors affect the fuel/air mixture. Vibrations can be caused by many sources, hard to diagnose here. To test the motor mounts. apply the parking brake, open the hood. Put the car in drive and step on the brake with one foot while applying full throttle with the gas pedal. Watch for excessive engine lifting on one side. Be careful not to have the engine fan to contact the shroud. Now do the same in reverse. If the engine lifts excessively, your mounts are shot. If the engine stays put with only a slight movement from torque, then the mounts are good.

Car will not accelerate when gas pushed

Clutch plate and pressure plate seem to be too weak to pull the car. To test the clutch plate, park the car on flat surface. Pull the hand brake up, start the car, depress the foot brake pedal, depress the clutch pedal, put the car in 1st gear, press the gas pedal and leave the clutch pedal at once, while keeping the brake pedal depressed.
Follow one of the two following statements:
1. Engine does not shut down and remain start. (Clutch plate, pressure plate and clutch bearing defective - Replace all as a set)
2. Engine shuts down. (Clutch system is OK and does not require any repair).

Hi , i have a problem with my automatic acura rsx 2002 , my gear shifter won't unlock from park , engine starts fine but when i step on the brake pedal then i also realese the hand break the shifter just...

This may be caused by a bad brake light switch or fuse, have someone check and see if the brake lights are coming on, the shifter release works on the brake switch, this is to make sure you have your foot on the brake before shifting out of park, if the brake lights are not working then thats the problem, start by check all the fuses, if the fuses are good then i would say you have a bad brake light switch, this switch is located on the brake pedal bracket, if you follow the pedal up to the top will will see a switch that the pedal pushes in when its released and allows it to pop out when the pedal is pushed, this switch most of the time is the problem,good day,

Corolla kicks/jolts when shifting gears.

I am trying to understand your problem. Check engine mounts. Have a driver in the car, hood open. Start car, foot on brakes, shift from park to reverse and back again. Shift through all gears, look for unusual engine movements around engine mounts area. Left foot on brakes, press gas in drive and reverse;watch for excessive engine movements. Be careful as you perform these steps. You may also want to check drive axles. Keep me updated.

Loses power on steep grade

Sounds like you need a clutch replacement.

Try this. Go somplace where there are no cars, and no possibility of running into anything. Stop the car. Set the park brake. With the engine running, put the vehicle in 1st gear. Hold the foot brake pedal, and give it gas, and let out the clutch slowly.
If the engine does not stall real quick, the clutch disc is bad.
